The __libc_res_nameinquery function returns -1 for corrupted packets. The previous code treated those as matching. This is not a security vulnerability because the transaction ID is still checked. The bug does not make off-path attacks substantially easier. Furthermore, most users of the DNS stub resolver parse the question name again, and do not simply skip over it using dn_skipname or similar (which would hide the corruption). This means that the packet is still rejected at a later stage.
