+Subject: [PATCH] posix: Fix stack overflow in wordexp tilde expansion (BZ
+ 34091, CVE-2026-6791)
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+The parse_tilde function previously used strndupa to allocate memory
+for the parsed username on the stack, and since the input is
+user-defined, this can lead to a stack overflow.
+
+This patch fixes the issue by replacing strndupa with scratch_buffer,
+by reusing the buffer used in the __getpwnam_r call.
+
+The new “tst-wordexp-tilde.c” test is a test-container to avoid using
+system-defined NSS modules.
+
+Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu and i686-linux-gnu.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 07c24f35392b727e6100d33edfdf811a6c68c218)
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-6791
