Yogita Urade 1a3b9da20a c-ares: fix CVE-2024-25629 ...

c-ares is a C library for asynchronous DNS requests.
`ares__read_line()` is used to parse local configuration
files such as `/etc/resolv.conf`, `/etc/nsswitch.conf`,
the `HOSTALIASES` file, and if using a c-ares version
prior to 1.27.0, the `/etc/hosts` file. If any of these
configuration files has an embedded `NULL` character as
the first character in a new line, it can lead to
attempting to read memory prior to the start of the given
buffer which may result in a crash. This issue is fixed
in c-ares 1.27.0. No known workarounds exist.
