+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2026-0799: Access M[] safely in the BPF interpreter.
+
+Include Security identified and reported this problem as a potential
+vulnerability in 2018 (case reference "I7").  Their work was sponsored
+by Mozilla under the Secure Open Source program.  The vulnerability has
+been independently confirmed only recently.
+
+The current revision of pcapint_filter_with_aux_data() can, but does not
+check whether a scratch memory register index is valid in the "ld M[k]",
+"ldx M[k]", "st M[k]" and "stx M[k]" BPF instructions, and assumes this
+is always the case.  This holds for programs that have been generated or
+validated by libpcap.
+
+However, this does not necessarily hold for programs that come via
+pcap_offline_filter() or [deprecated] bpf_filter() from an external
+source and have not been explicitly validated.  If the interpreter
+executes such a program with an invalid index, it will read/write the
+process memory at arbitrary locations starting at the current stack
+frame.  Depending on the address, the memory layout and the OS, this can
+result in stack buffer overflow, SIGSEGV, SIGBUS or other effects.  To
+fix this, in the interpreter reject the packet if the index is invalid.
+
+(backported from commit 569f8fd3524192acbabf93c9cd704471bb38f84a)
+
+(cherry picked from commit 48e8960a7108e9e828f9d7bdc7e97bdab841aec7)
+
+Notes on backporting to 1.10.4:
+ - The upstream CHANGES/changelog hunk is not backported.
