Multiple security vulnerabilities were discovered in plugins for the GStreamer media framework and its codecs and demuxers, which may result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed media file is opened.

For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in version 1.26.2-3+deb13u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your gst-plugins-bad1.0 packages.
