+Subject: net/dns: Fix double-free addresses on corrupt DNS response
+
+grub_net_dns_lookup() takes as inputs a pointer to an array of addresses
+("addresses") for the given name, and pointer to a number of addresses
+("naddresses"). grub_net_dns_lookup() is responsible for allocating
+"addresses", and the caller is responsible for freeing it if
+"naddresses" > 0.
+
+The DNS recv_hook will sometimes set and free the addresses array,
+for example if the packet is too short:
+
+ if (ptr + 10 >= nb->tail)
+ {
+ if (!*data->naddresses)
+ grub_free (*data->addresses);
+ grub_netbuff_free (nb);
+ return GRUB_ERR_NONE;
+ }
+
+Later on the nslookup command code unconditionally frees the "addresses"
+array. Normally this is fine: the array is either populated with valid
+data or is NULL. But in these sorts of error cases it is neither NULL
+nor valid and we get a double-free.
+
+Only free "addresses" if "naddresses" > 0.
+
+It looks like the other use of grub_net_dns_lookup() is not affected.
