### Description
Many places in the Yahoo! protocol plugin assumed incoming strings were UTF-8
and failed to transcode from non-UTF-8 encodings. This can lead to a crash when
receiving strings that aren't UTF-8.
### Mitigation
Depending on the context, either validate that a string is UTF-8 or transcode
the string from the appropriate encoding to UTF-8.
