    Multiple security issues were discovered in libde265, an open source     implementation of the H.265/HEVC video codec, which may result in denial     of service, memory exhaustion or potentially the execution of arbitrary     code if a malformed media file is processed.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in     version 1.0.15-1+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libde265 packages.
