+Subject: [PATCH] Fix CVE-2026-16118: heap-buffer-overflow in xdgmimemagic.c
+
+Fix out-of-bounds write in the byte-swap routine of
+_xdg_mime_magic_parse_magic_line(). On little-endian systems, the
+write side of the swap casts the base pointer to a wider type before
+adding the byte offset, causing pointer arithmetic to scale by
+sizeof(type) instead of 1. With value_length=4 and word_size=2, the
+loop writes 2 bytes past the allocated matchlet->value buffer at i=2.
+
+Parenthesize (ptr + i) before the cast so both the read and write
+sides use byte offsets.
