  - A flaw was found in the H.264 video parser in gst-plugins-bad. When processing a specially crafted H.264
    video file with malformed Multiview (MVC) Sequence Parameter Set data, the parser can dereference a NULL
    pointer during the cleanup of partially allocated internal structures after a parse failure. This can
    cause the application using GStreamer to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-119728)
