[PATCH] nss_dns: Check address length before creating addrinfo result [BZ #19831]


This also consolidates the behavior between single (A or AAAA) and
dual (A and AAAA in parallel) queries.  Single queries checked
the record length against the QTYPE, not the RRTYPE.

	[BZ #19831]
	* resolv/nss_dns/dns-host.c (rrtype_to_rdata_length): New
	function.
	(getanswer_r): Check RDATA length against RRTYPE and QTYPE.
	(gaih_getanswer_slice): Check RDATA length against RRTYPE.
