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.
