This is blocked on acceptance of a fix upstream.

This is still waiting on upstream bug fix.

However, we now have a proposed fix that is being discussed upstream:

The actual fixes are:

commit beea361050728138b82c57dda0c4810402d342b9
Author: Alexander Anisimov <a.anisimov>

    arm: CVE-2020-6096: Fix multiarch memcpy for negative length [BZ #25620]
    
    Unsigned branch instructions could be used for r2 to fix the wrong
    behavior when a negative length is passed to memcpy.
    This commit fixes the armv7 version.

commit 79a4fa341b8a89cb03f84564fd72abaa1a2db394
Author: Evgeny Eremin <e.eremin>
Date:   Wed Jul 8 14:18:19 2020 +0200

    arm: CVE-2020-6096: fix memcpy and memmove for negative length [BZ #25620]
    
    Unsigned branch instructions could be used for r2 to fix the wrong
    behavior when a negative length is passed to memcpy and memmove.
    This commit fixes the generic arm implementation of memcpy amd memmove.

Plus the NEWS file update (still pending upstream).

Backporting the new test is more complicated because of its dependency on support/ directory changes, so this should be considered optional.
