+Subject: [PATCH] Add str len check in config_sortlist to avoid stack overflow
+
+In ares_set_sortlist, it calls config_sortlist(..., sortstr) to parse
+the input str and initialize a sortlist configuration.
+
+However, ares_set_sortlist has not any checks about the validity of the input str.
+It is very easy to create an arbitrary length stack overflow with the unchecked
+`memcpy(ipbuf, str, q-str);` and `memcpy(ipbufpfx, str, q-str);`
+statements in the config_sortlist call, which could potentially cause severe
+security impact in practical programs.
+
+This commit add necessary check for `ipbuf` and `ipbufpfx` which avoid the
+potential stack overflows.
+
+fixes #496
