writedata used to align the written buffer size to a multiple of 4. This causes multiple issues:

  • Writes uninitialized data.
  • Crash with ASAN due to a heap buffer overflow if the buffer is not any longer than what is passed in.
  • Modifies the length of the buffer which can't be undone when reading the buffer again.

I don't know of any reason for this alignment here. I'd think that it doesn't matter when writing to a file. If it would matter, then we should probably align to at least 8 nowadays because that's the alignment of pointers.
The original reason for this alignment seems to be lost to history. It was already part of the initial commit:

len+= 3;
len-= ( len % 4);

See #129691 (comment) for an ASAN report that is caused by this alignment.

Don't see any reason for this half-broken alignment either, so since @ideasman42 does not have anything against the patch either, fine by me.
