+Subject: [PATCH] upstream: pass >9 commandline arguments to the internal-sftp
+ server,
+
+previously they were silently dropped; reported by Steve Caffrey ok deraadt@
+
+OpenBSD-Commit-ID: ee6cd5430a3ca027c3223af54b58ad3cc7ccd624
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-59997
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/e9916c44c1324ab9ab022719e4df08a390a83014]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Omitted the upstream OpenBSD revision-only hunk in session.c and
+  retained the Wrynose OpenSSH 10.3p1 revision because this stable
+  backport carries only the functional security change.
+
+(cherry picked from commit e9916c44c1324ab9ab022719e4df08a390a83014)
+Signed-off-by: Devansh Patel <devanshp@cisco.com>
