Notes

ccdm94

the line presented as the one containing the instruction that triggers the error in the bug report stack trace was introduced by commit a1198124370a (>= 8.2.3629). Eventhough the code for focal and impish is very similar to the vulnerable one, the reproducer does not work for impish and earlier, further indicating that the previously mentioned commit might have been the one to introduce the issue.
