Subject: [PATCH 3.2 61/94] dns_resolver: assure that dns_query() result is
  null-terminated

3.2.62-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Manuel Schölling <manuel.schoelling@....de>

[ 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.
