It doesn't seem it is. Yesterday I tried curl + C-ares with the
test DNS-server from this CVE 'Proof of Concept' Python script:
  https://github.com/fjserna/CVE-2015-7547

And curl + C-ares didn't crash or anything. It just ignored the
huge responses in that script.

PS. Please don't hijack a message thread for another issue.
