commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=9bf97d2c2a01a451226317c4d0dea42b13294898
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2025.02.x

Fixes the following security issue:

CVE-2025-27091: OpenH264 Decoding Functions Heap Overflow Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the decoding functions of OpenH264 codec library could
allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to trigger a heap overflow.

This vulnerability is due to a race condition between a Sequence Parameter
Set (SPS) memory allocation and a subsequent non Instantaneous Decoder
Refresh (non-IDR) Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) unit memory usage.  An
attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious bitstream
and tricking a victim user into processing an arbitrary video containing the
malicious bitstream.  An exploit could allow the attacker to cause an
unexpected crash in the victim's user decoding client and, possibly, perform
arbitrary commands on the victim's host by abusing the heap overflow.

The upstream tag now has no 'v' prefix, so drop it from _SITE.
