Hi friends.
c-ares 1.19.0 was just packaged and uploaded. Available as always from:
https://c-ares.org/
c-ares version 1.19.0
This is a feature and bugfix release. It addresses a couple of new feature
requests as well as a couple of bug fixes.
Security:
o Low. Stack overflow in ares_set_sortlist() which is used during c-ares
initialization and typically provided by an administrator and not an
end user. [24]
Changes:
o Windows: Drop support for XP and derivatives which greatly cleans up
initialization code. [3]
o Add ARES_OPT_HOSTS_FILE similar to ARES_OPT_RESOLVCONF for specifying a
custom hosts file location. [10]
o Add vcpkg installation instructions [13]
Bug fixes:
o Fix cross-compilation from Windows to Linux due to CPACK logic. [1]
o Fix memory leak in reading /etc/hosts when using localhost fallback. [2]
o Fix chain building c-ares when libresolv is already included by another
project [4]
o File lookup should not immediately abort as there may be other tries due to
search criteria.
o Asterisks should be allowed in host validation as CNAMEs may reference
wildcard domains [5]
o AutoTools build system referenced bad STDC_HEADERS macro [6]
o Even if one address class returns a failure for ares_getaddrinfo() we
should
still return the results we have
o CMake Windows: DLLs did not include resource file to include versions [7]
[8]
o CMake: Guard target creation in exported config [9]
o Fix ares_getaddrinfo() numerical address resolution with AF_UNSPEC [11]
o Apple: fix libresolv configured query times. [12]
o Fix tools and help information [14] [15]
o Various documentation fixes and cleanups [16] [22] [25]
o Add include guards to ares_data.h [17]
o c-ares could try to exceed maximum number of iovec entries supported by
system [18]
o CMake package config generation allow for absolute install paths [19]
o Intel compiler fixes [20]
o ares_strsplit bugs [21] [23]
o The RFC6761 6.3 states localhost subdomains must be offline too. [26]
