+Subject: [PATCH] avidemux: Add GLib < 2.68 compatibility shim for g_memdup2
+
+Downstream-only adaptation, not an upstream commit.
+
+The preceding commit ("avidemux: Don't modify read-only mapped buffer
+data", part of upstream MR !12231 / the CVE-2026-73433 fix) introduces
+two calls to g_memdup2() in gst_avi_demux_parse_strd() and
+gst_avi_demux_parse_ncdt(). g_memdup2() was only added in GLib 2.68;
+RHEL 8 ships GLib 2.56.4. Since GStreamer elements are dlopen-loaded
+plugins, the missing symbol does not fail the build -- it fails at
+plugin load time with "undefined symbol: g_memdup2", silently
+disabling the entire avi plugin (avidemux/avimux). See RHEL-246869.
+
+Upstream does not need this because gstreamer's own
+gst/glib-compat-private.h already provides this fallback macro for
+GLib < 2.67.4 builds (see commit b16e96dd87 in the gstreamer
+monorepo), and meson wires it into config.h automatically. That
+mechanism is not part of this 1.16.1 autotools-based tree, so provide
+the same macro directly in gstavidemux.c ahead of its first use.
