Fix CVE(s): CVE-2026-70456

Type: advisorySources: OSV

* SECURITY UPDATE: Out-of-bounds heap write in daemon argument parsing - debian/patches/CVE-2026-70456.patch: grow argv to argc + 1 entries in read_args() (io.c) before storing the trailing NULL, so a post-dot daemon request whose glob expansion lands argc exactly on maxargs no longer writes one pointer slot past the end of the argv allocation - CVE-2026-70456
