[slackware-security]  c-ares (SSA:2026-187-01)

New c-ares packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/c-ares-1.34.7-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This release fixes the following security issues:
  Use-after-free / double-free in c-ares' query-completion handling, remotely
  triggerable via ares_getaddrinfo() over TCP.
  CPU-exhaustion denial of service via unbounded DNS name compression pointer
  chains.
  Memory-amplification denial of service via unvalidated DNS header record
  counts.
  For more information, see:
