The size of the corresponding structure is different from that of hfsplusunistr, so the previous fix (94458781aee6) is insufficient. The pointer on the unicode buffer is still going beyond the allocated memory. This patch introduces two warpper functions hfsplusuni2ascxattrstr and hfsplusuni2ascstr to process two unicode buffers, struct hfsplusattrunistr and struct hfsplusunistr respectively. When ustrlen value is bigger than the allocated memory size, the ustrlen value is limited to an safe size.
