patch available.

  - FFmpeg versions 2.7 through 8.1.2 contain an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the TDSC video decoder
    that allows remote attackers to cause heap corruption by supplying a crafted AVI file that changes frame
    dimensions across TDSF frames. The tdsc_parse_tdsf() function fails to unreference the existing reference
    frame before calling av_frame_get_buffer(), causing tdsc_blit() and tdsc_yuv2rgb() to write attacker-
    controlled pixel data beyond the end of the undersized reference frame buffer, resulting in a process
    crash and potential code execution. (CVE-2026-65703)

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