+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2026-6244: Avoid division by zero via
+ pcap_offline_filter().
+
+The current revision of pcapint_filter_with_aux_data() for "div x" and
+"mod x" correctly rejects the packet if X is zero, but for "div #k" and
+"mod #k" it assumes that k is never zero. This holds for programs that
+have been generated or validated by libpcap.
+
+However, this does not necessarily hold for programs that come from an
+external source via pcap_offline_filter() or [deprecated] bpf_filter()
+and have not been explicitly validated. If the interpreter executes
+such a program, it can attempt a division by zero, which will typically
+terminate the process via SIGFPE.
+
+To fix this problem, in pcapint_filter_with_aux_data() treat "div #k"
+and "mod #k" the same way as "div x" and "mod x".
+
+(backported from commit 0b2b1ad4a1796513613ff68e9dc09049cc8e0af4)
+
+(cherry picked from commit 98bb921b141aa642faedbf2ac510541c76499a19)
