In c-ares before 1.12.0, When a string is passed in to โ€˜ares_create_queryโ€™ or โ€˜ares_mkqueryโ€™ and uses an escaped trailing dot, like โ€œhello\.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 โ€˜dnsclassโ€™ argument; most commonly 1 (CVE-2016-5180).
