Re: [PATCH v2 2.39 0/7] Cherry-pick CVE-2026-5435 and CVE-2026-6238 fixes to release/2.39/master

Hi Florian, Andreas,

My v2 series ([PATCH v2 2.39 XXX]) was marked "Not Applicable” in  patchwork. Could you clarify — is this being handled internally, or is there something I need to change in the submission?

 Happy to adjust if needed.


Regards,

Subject: [PATCH v2 2.39 0/7] Cherry-pick CVE-2026-5435 and CVE-2026-6238 fixes to release/2.39/master

Hi,

v2: Backport the full series including the 3 preparatory commits
(type/class formatting fixes) needed for the test case to pass.
All 7 commits cherry-pick cleanly with no conflicts.

v1 only included 4 patches and had a trivial conflict. Florian
pointed out the test would fail without the type formatting changes.

This series cherry-picks the fixes for CVE-2026-5435 (bug 34033) and
CVE-2026-6238 (bug 34069) to the release/2.39/master branch.

Patches 1-3 are preparatory fixes for ns_sprintrrf type/class
formatting (bug 34289), required for the test in patch 7 to pass.
Patches 4-6 are the actual security fixes.
Patch 7 is the regression test.

The same fixes were already cherry-picked to release/2.43/master as
commits e64ae5a591f0, 3a418da6a393, and 8759917de589.

All patches apply cleanly on top of current release/2.39/master HEAD
(be1e627cd7).

glibc 2.39 is actively used in Yocto Project's scarthgap (LTS) release,
so this branch continues to have downstream consumers relying on it for
security fixes.

Testing: All 56 resolv tests pass, including the new tst-ns_sprintrr.
No regressions.

Thanks,
Jaipaul
