+Subject: [PATCH] gnutls_cipher_decrypt3: make PKCS#7 unpadding branch free
+
+This tries to make the logic of PKCS#7 padding removal constant-time,
+by removing potential branching operations.
+
+CVE: CVE-2026-5419
+Upstream-Status: Backport

+
+Backport Changes:
+- Adjusted the upstream hunk to match the GnuTLS 3.8.12 code layout.
+- Drop .gitignore from the backport.
+
+Reported-by: Doria Tang of Stony Brook University
+Fixes: #1815
+Fixes: CVE-2026-5419
