+Subject: [PATCH] Merge commit from fork
+
+names: mitigate DNS compression-pointer flood (GHSA-grgv-6hw6-v9g4)
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-42304
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/twisted/twisted/commit/2d196123264efb0027eecfe1b430be4a9babdbd8]
+
+Backport Changes:
+- Expanded the upstream merge and applied its complete first-parent code
+  and regression-test changes.
+- The expanded dependency sequence is be71ecaa113f642f03083bd5ed33af47c59308c8,
+  86e1b5490de5baa8ca284d1e6f4f0ade3e8ad7e0,
+  c75d44ed81b47f8086ed801cfcdb2568b0b32301,
+  d7d81e08d46b3f266963ea77e5f6b4a333af455f,
+  9df6d960d3569751ebb5567093fe1d1d9f63ca54, and
+  9ca319ebf61386dd33354c4ade3946ef84ad58fb.
+- Retained Scarthgap's `typing.Sequence` import instead of the newer
+  `collections.abc.Sequence` import.
+- Omitted the release-news fragment; it does not affect the fix.
+
+(cherry picked from commit 2d196123264efb0027eecfe1b430be4a9babdbd8)
