Avoid buffer overflow in RC4 loop comparison (#336) The rc4 function iterates over a buffer of size buffer_len who's maximum value is INT_MAX with a counter of type short that is not guaranteed to have maximum size INT_MAX. In circumstances where short is narrower than int and where buffer_len is larger than the maximum value of a short, it may be possible to loop infinitely as counter will overflow and never be greater than or equal to buffer_len. The solution is to make the comparison be between types of equal width. This commit defines counter as an int. Fix By: Fionn Fitzmaurice (@fionn)

.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I ares_free_hostent
function frees a
.B struct hostent
allocated by one of the functions \fIares_parse_a_reply(3)\fP,
\fIares_parse_aaaa_reply(3)\fP, or \fIares_parse_ptr_reply(3)\fP.
.SH NOTES
It is not necessary (and is not correct) to free the host structure passed to
the callback functions for \fIares_gethostbyname(3)\fP or
\fIares_gethostbyaddr(3)\fP. c-ares will automatically free such host
structures when the callback returns.
.SH SEE ALSO
