See the last comment in MDEV-6459. Kristian wrote

  I have noticed that binlog sizes and offsets have a tendency to use
  32-bit values around the replication code (which is generally wrong
  for file offsets). I suspect that there are other bugs related to this
  lingering around.

  Using ulonglong by default when adding or otherwise changing code
  seems a reasonable approach to me, where there are no performance
  concerns that would suggest using a 32-bit type (and that does not
  seem to be the case here).
