    Package        : libde265
    CVE ID         : CVE-2026-33164 CVE-2026-33165

    Two security issues were discovered in libde265, an implementation of
    the H.265 video codec which may result in denial of service or
    potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed media file
    is processed.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 1.0.15-1+deb13u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libde265 packages.

    For the detailed security status of libde265 please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libde265

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
    found at: https://www.debian.org/security/
