Test Methodology

• Pipeline build id: Buddy Build URL

[AkarshHCL]

1. Fixed the failing buddy build due to macro-LIBSSH2_UNCONST , removed this macro, it does not exist and data variable is already unsigned char* .
2. Buddy build after the fix-https://dev.azure.com/mariner-org/mariner/_build/results?buildId=1148879&view=results
3. patches are getting applied cleanly-

[AkarshHCL]

Our patch is different from upstream as our source code is slightly different. Our AI backport added necessary changes with the following relevance:

1. Type Consistency (unsigned int → uint32_t)

   • SSH protocol uses 32-bit types
   • Prevents platform-dependent integer issues
   • Not removed from upstream - Azure Linux adaptation

2. Packet Length Refactoring (Separated initialization)

   • Improves clarity and enables bounds checking
   • Type safety (ssize_t → uint32_t)
   • Not removed from upstream - Code quality improvement

3. Core Security Variables (5 new variables)

   • struct string_buf buf, lk_target, packet_type, tmp_u32, lk_len
   • Same as upstream - Implements CVE-2025-15661 fix
