+Subject: [PATCH] upstream: resist that return ".." via remote glob during
+
+remote/remote copies, similar to fixes for bz3871 for remote/local copies.
+From Swival scanner
+
+OpenBSD-Commit-ID: c0c20a1b746db55c08e53658bf21ea9405b300a5
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-59996
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/openssh/openssh-portable/commit/36480181fa22f98e180b4f9e10203480c0346c78]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Omitted the upstream OpenBSD revision-only hunk in scp.c and retained
+  the Wrynose OpenSSH 10.3p1 revision because this stable backport carries
+  only the functional security change.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 36480181fa22f98e180b4f9e10203480c0346c78)
