commit: https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/commit/ea81b023e82dfc4f4232a0e21bb12e1a49803065
branch: https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/-/tree/2025.11.x

Fixes the following vulnerability:

- CVE-2025-34450:
    merbanan/rtl_433 versions up to and including 25.02 and prior to
    commit 25e47f8 contain a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in
    the function parse_rfraw() located in src/rfraw.c. When processing
    crafted or excessively large raw RF input data, the application may
    write beyond the bounds of a stack buffer, resulting in memory
    corruption or a crash. This vulnerability can be exploited to cause a
    denial of service and, under certain conditions, may be leveraged for
    further exploitation depending on the execution environment and
    available mitigations.
