3.11.10.15 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: =?UTF-8?q?Manuel=20Sch=C3=B6lling?= <manuel.schoelling at gmx.de>

commit 84a7c0b1db1c17d5ded8d3800228a608e1070b40 upstream.

dns_query() credulously assumes that keys are null-terminated and
returns a copy of a memory block that is off by one.
