Missing security patch leading to stack smashing...

Missing LDNS_STATUS_DOMAINNAME_OVERFLOW check results in stack smashing parsing packets.

Description: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS
Release: 10.04

libldns-dev:
  Installed: 1.6.1-1
  Candidate: 1.6.1-1
  Version table:
 *** 1.6.1-1 0
        500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I expected to have libldns return LDNS_STATUS_DOMAINNAME_OVERFLOW, but instead it smashes the stack leading to a segfault.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Since the package referred to in this bug is in universe or multiverse, it is community maintained. If you are able, I suggest coordinating with upstream and posting a debdiff for this issue. When a debdiff is available, members of the security team will review it and publish the package.

Ubuntu 10.10 and later should be fixed (10.10 has 1.6.4-5).
