Alexey Izbyshev 12590c8bbd fix out-of-bounds reads in __dns_parse
There are several issues with range checks in this function:

* The question section parsing loop can read up to two out-of-bounds
  bytes before doing the range check and bailing out.

* The answer section parsing loop, in addition to the same issue as
  above, uses the wrong length in the range check that doesn't prevent
  OOB reads when computing len later.

* The len range check before calling the callback is off by 10. Also,
  p+len can overflow in a (probably theoretical) case when p is within
  2^16 from UINTPTR_MAX.

Because __dns_parse is used only with stack-allocated buffers, such
small overreads can't result in a segfault. The first two also don't
affect the function result, but the last one may result in getaddrinfo
incorrectly succeeding and returning up to 10 bytes past the
response buffer as a part of the IP address, and in (canon) name
returned by getaddrinfo/getnameinfo being affected by memory past the
response buffer (because dn_expand might interpret it as a pointer).

    musl libc

musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.

The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.

For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
