Dear Release Managers,

I would like to close these bugs regarding trixie through p-u:

[ Reason ]
This fixes CVE-2026-44988 and CVE-2026-50538 for trixie.

[ Impact ]
CVE-2026-44988: A malicious VNC server can send a crafted
FramebufferUpdate rectangle which makes the client write beyond fixed-
size Gradient buffers.
CVE-2026-50538: A malicious VNC server can  force a connecting
libvncclient to write attacker-controlled data past the end of its
framebuffer without the need of authentication.

[ Tests ]
Build test and autopkgtest locally and on debusine.d.n:
https://debusine.debian.net/debian/developers/work-request/844164/

[ Risks ]
I consider the risks low as the fix consists exactly of upstream's
