In c-ares before 1.12.0, When a string is passed in to โares_create_queryโ or โares_mkqueryโ and uses an escaped trailing dot, like โhello\.โ, c-ares calculates the string length wrong and subsequently writes outside of the the allocated buffer with one byte. The wrongly written byte is the least significant byte of the โdnsclassโ argument; most commonly 1 (CVE-2016-5180).
