MDEV-15005 ASAN: stack-buffer-overflow in my_strnncollsp_simple
cmp_item_sort_string::store_value() did not cache the string returned from item->val_str(), whose result can point to various private members such as Item_char_typecast::tmp_value. - cmp_item_sort_string::store_value() remembered the pointer returned from item->val_str() poiting to tmp_value into cmp_item_string::value_res. - Later, cmp_item_real::store_value() was called, which called Item_str_func::val_real(), which called Item_char_typecast::val_str(&tmp) using a local stack variable "String tmp". Item_char_typecast::tmp_value was overwritten and become a link to "tmp": tmp_value.Ptr freed its own buffer and set to point to the buffer owned by "tmp". - On return from Item_str_func::val_real(), "String tmp" was destructed, but "tmp_value" still pointed to the buffer owned by "tmp", So tmp_value.Ptr became invalid. - Then cmp_item_sort_string() passed cmp_item_string::value_res to sortcmp(). At this point, value_res still pointed to an invalid value of Item_char_typecast::tmp_value. Fix: changing cmp_item_sort_string::store_value() to force copying to cmp_item_string::value if item->val_str(&value) returned a different pointer (instead of &value).
