  - A signed integer overflow vulnerability was found in GStreamer's VMnc decoder. A crafted VMnc stream with
    large cursor dimensions can overflow signed integer payload-size arithmetic, bypassing a length check and
    leading to out-of-bounds reads. A remote attacker could trick a user into opening a specially crafted VMnc
    file, potentially causing a crash or information disclosure. (CVE-2026-52722)
