### Description
When receiving various messages related to requesting or receiving authorization
for adding a buddy to a buddy list, the oscar protocol plugin failed to validate
that a piece of text was UTF-8. In some cases invalid UTF-8 data would lead to a
crash.
### Mitigation
Validate incoming strings as UTF-8 before using them as such.
