+Subject: [PATCH] Fix use-after-free bug in __dns_lookup.
+
+If the type of the first answer does not match with the requested type,
+then the dotted name will be freed. If there are no further answers in
+the DNS reply, this pointer will be used later on in the same function.
+Additionally it is passed to the caller, and may cause strange behaviour.
+
+For example, the following busybox commands are triggering a segmentation
+fault with uClibc 0.9.30.x
+
+  - nslookup ipv6.google.com
+  - ping ipv6.google.com
+  - wget http//ipv6.google.com/
