"Niels Provos libevent 1.2 and 1.2a allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (infinite loop) via a DNS response containing a label pointer that
references its own offset."

FE5 and FC6 are at 1.1a, not clear if those versions are affected.  Rawhide was
updated to 1.2a a few days ago, however (unlike the changelog says) the latest
upstream is 1.3a, not 1.2a.
