Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2016-3075: Stack overflow in _nss_dns_getnetbyname_r [BZ
 #19879]

The defensive copy is not needed because the name may not alias the
output buffer.

(cherry picked from commit 317b199b4aff8cfa27f2302ab404d2bb5032b9a4)
(cherry picked from commit 883dceebc8f11921a9890211a4e202e5be17562f)
