+Subject: [PATCH] Validate config section delimiters
+
+Reject unsafe unquoted closing brackets and malformed quoted subsections.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-69097
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython/commit/1ed1b924f4e2d2ee7bab296df77b978af21853f]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Omitted test/test_config.py because the current PyPI 
+  source archive does not include the test suite and 
+  the python3-git recipe does not run it.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 1ed1b924f4e2d2ee7bab296df77b978af21853f)
+Signed-off-by: Yogita Urade <yurade@cisco.com>
