> In query_data(), buf and query point into the same multi_transaction
> buffer: buf at the start, query a few bytes in, and the lookup key
> right after the label string that query points to. Reusing the buffer
> is by design and is safe as long as the query is fully parsed before
> buf is written to, but the key is not: it is dereferenced on every

> written. So when the label has more than one profile with a data
> table, the data of the first matching profile is written to buf while
> the key is still needed, and overwrites it if the data is large enough.
> The later lookups then run on a corrupted key. Besides, if the data has
> no NUL byte from the key's position to the end of the allocation,
> strhash() -> strlen() -> jhash() reads past the 4096-byte slab object,
