Subject: [PATCH 10/32] SECURITY: adnshost: Fix missing-final-newline handling
 on stdin read

It is wrong to increment used as well as setting r, since used is
incremented according to r, later.  Rather we should be doing what
read() would have done.

Without this fix, adnshost may read and process one byte beyond the
buffer, perhaps crashing or perhaps somehow leaking the value of that
byte.

Found by AFL 2.35b.  CVE-2017-9108.
