Subject: [PATCH 06/12] dnsproxy: strip_domains(): fix out of bounds read access
Date: Tue, 19 Apr 2022 12:34:55 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220419103501.30553-7-matthias.gerstner@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220419103501.30553-1-matthias.gerstner@suse.de>

If the name is not found in an answer record then `ptr` is NULL and the
calculation at the end of the while loop `maxlen -= answers - ptr` will
underflow, resulting in a very large `maxlen` value and consequently in
out of bound read accesses parsing beyond the actual end of the answers
section.
