c-ares is a C library for asynchronous DNS requests. ares__read_line() is
used to parse local configuration files such as /etc/resolv.conf,
/etc/nsswitch.conf, the HOSTALIASES file, and if using a c-ares version
prior to 1.27.0, the /etc/hosts file. If any of these configuration files
has an embedded NULL character as the first character in a new line, it
can lead to attempting to read memory prior to the start of the given
buffer which may result in a crash. This issue is fixed in c-ares 1.27.0.
No known workarounds exist.
