patch available.

  - A stack buffer overflow flaw was found in the GStreamer H.265 codec parser library (gst-plugins-bad). When
    parsing a buffering period SEI message, the parser uses an incorrect loop bound derived from
    cpb_cnt_minus1[i] (the loop index) instead of the sub-layer 0 CPB count cpb_cnt_minus1[0] from the
    referenced Sequence Parameter Set. A crafted H.265 video file or stream can cause the parser to write
    beyond the bounds of stack-allocated CPB delay arrays, resulting in a crash or potential stack memory
    corruption. (CVE-2026-53702)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
