This update fixes two security issues:
Corrected a reference count leak that occurs when the server builds
responses to leasequery packets.
Corrected a memory leak that occurs when unpacking a packet that has an
FQDN option (81) that contains a label with length greater than 63 bytes.
Thanks to VictorV of Cyber Kunlun Lab for reporting these issues.
