+Subject: [PATCH 3/3] Tighten string length bounds and propagate invalid jv in
+ implode
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+The bound added in CVE-2026-32316 (e47e56d22) still allowed
+`sizeof(jvp_string) + (currlen + len) * 2 + 1` to wrap `size_t` on
+32-bit platforms. Tighten the threshold so the final allocation
+fits in 32-bit `size_t`.
+
+Also break out of `jv_string_implode` and `f_string_implode` once
+`jv_string_append_codepoint` returns an invalid `jv`; otherwise the
+next iteration triggers the assertion in `jvp_string_ptr` (or
+invokes undefined behavior under `-DNDEBUG`).
+
+Fixes CVE-2026-54679.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-54679
