+	[BZ #18784]
+	CVE-2015-5180
+	* include/arpa/nameser_compat.h (T_QUERY_A_AND_AAAA): Rename from
+	T_UNSPEC.  Adjust value.
+	* resolv/nss_dns/dns-host.c (_nss_dns_gethostbyname4_r): Use it.
+	* resolv/res_query.c (__libc_res_nquery): Likewise.
+	* resolv/res_mkquery.c (res_nmkquery): Check for out-of-range
+	QTYPEs.
+	* resolv/tst-resolv-qtypes.c: New file.
+	* resolv/Makefile (xtests): Add tst-resolv-qtypes.
+	(tst-resolv-qtypes): Link against libresolv and libpthread.

+* On ARM EABI (32-bit), generating a backtrace for execution contexts which
   have been created with makecontext could fail to terminate due to a
   missing .cantunwind annotation.  This has been observed to lead to a hang
   (denial of service) in some Go applications compiled with gccgo.  Reported
   by Andreas Schwab.  (CVE-2016-6323)
 
+* The DNS stub resolver functions would crash due to a NULL pointer
+  dereference when processing a query with a valid DNS question type which
+  was used internally in the implementation.  The stub resolver now uses a
+  question type which is outside the range of valid question type values.
