+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2026-59844 sftpserver: cap accepted values of len in
+ SSH_FXP_READ
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+The client-provided length is directly used in
+a malloc in process_read(), so not restricting it
+leads to allocations bounded only by UINT32_MAX.
+
+The new cap is the same as the one currently used
+by OpenSSH.

+CVE: CVE-2026-59844
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git/commit/?id=e31f06e5380be4e714d5ad6965981fbf30738da9]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Replace the upstream goto error path with equivalent direct message cleanup
+  and return because libssh 0.10.6 does not have the refactored
+  sftp_make_client_message() error label.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 6dba2e06f0713c04ad5eca7d4315d0104be7e627)
+(cherry picked from commit e31f06e5380be4e714d5ad6965981fbf30738da9)
