Rich Felker 45ca5d3fcb in dns parsing callback, enforce MAXADDRS to preclude overflow
MAXADDRS was chosen not to need enforcement, but the logic used to
compute it assumes the answers received match the RR types of the
queries. specifically, it assumes that only one replu contains A
record answers. if the replies to both the A and the AAAA query have
their answer sections filled with A records, MAXADDRS can be exceeded
and clobber the stack of the calling function.

this bug was found and reported by Felix Wilhelm.

    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:
