[PATCH 3.12 56/94] dns_resolver: assure that dns_query() result is null-terminated

From: Jiri Slaby

From: Manuel SchÃlling <manuel.schoelling@xxxxxx>

3.12-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 84a7c0b1db1c17d5ded8d3800228a608e1070b40 ]

dns_query() credulously assumes that keys are null-terminated and
returns a copy of a memory block that is off by one.
