Original commit message:

  ares_parse_naptr_reply: check sufficient data

  Check that there is enough data for the required elements
  of an NAPTR record (2 int16, 3 bytes for string lengths)
  before processing a record.

This patch fixes CVE-2017-1000381

The c-ares function ares_parse_naptr_reply(), which is used for
parsing NAPTR responses, could be triggered to read memory outside
of the given input buffer if the passed in DNS response packet was
crafted in a particular way.
