+CVE: CVE-2026-66032
+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2/commit/5e4776146552d898b9c0e1b313cd093fa8dc92d0]
+
+Backport adaptations:
+- The upstream fix uses SSH2_FREE() which was renamed from
+  LIBSSH2_FREE() in newer libssh2. Context adjusted to match
+  the 1.11.1 codebase (different line numbers and surrounding
+  function/macro names).
