I was wondering if there were any plans for Node.js to update the C-Ares version from 1.10.0 to 1.12.0 so as to take into account the fix for the buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2016-5180)?

CVE-2016-5180: https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-5180
C-Ares Advisory: https://c-ares.haxx.se/adv_20160929.html
C-Ares Patch: https://c-ares.haxx.se/CVE-2016-5180.patch

    I think this particular problem was addressed by 68c4c71 (#8849)?

    @addaleax My bad I was looking at the version and not at the patch indeed. Thank you for the fast answer!
