we already attempt to preclude this case by having res_send use a sufficiently large temporary buffer even if the caller did not provide one as large as or larger than the udp dns max of 512 bytes. however, it's possible that the caller passed a custom-crafted query packet using EDNS0, e.g. to get detailed DNSSEC results, with a larger udp size allowance. I have also seen claims that there are some broken nameservers in the wild that do not honor the dns udp limit of 512 and send large answers without the TC bit set, when the query was not using EDNS. we generally don't aim to support broken nameservers, but in this case both problems, if the latter is even real, have a common solution: using recvmsg instead of recvfrom so we can examine the MSG_TRUNC flag. |

musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
