    Description

      Description 

      A segmentation fault occur in (src/network/kernel/qdnslookup_unix.cpp) when using QDnsLookup to acces large TXT fields (561 byte) on a DNS query.

      According to RFC, UDP DNS query over 512 byte can be truncated and the requester should retry to query over TCP. This is what is happening currently in my use case using QDnsLookup on Unix. I wasn't able to reproduce the crash on Windows or OSX

      Steps To Reproduce

      1. Perform a QDNSLookup on TXT fields. ex:
        QDnsLookup* txtLookup = new QDnsLookup(this);
        txtLookup->setNameserver(dns);
        txtLookup->setType(QDnsLookup::TXT);
        txtLookup->setName(TXTLOOKUPNAME);
        connect(txtLookup, &QDnsLookup::finished,......);
        txtLookup->lookup();
        
      1. Package the application as a deamon in a docker based on Debian Jessie
      2. Run the query periodically and wait for it to crash

      Observed Behavior

      When not crashing, results are truncated to 512 byte. TXT fields are returned by the name sever in random order so the fields that will be missing or truncated can vary. According the the order of the TXT fields, Qt can crash from a buffer overflow error because the response header state that the response contain more fields that what Qt is accepting from the request. Qt buffer size is set to PACKETSZ in unix

      Expected behavior

      The DNS query over TCP should parse the full content of the reply.

      Possible solution

      Increasing the size of the response buffer to 65536 (large enough for the largest DNS message) fixed the crash and the truncated responses content for me.
