Fix CVE(s): CVE-2026-42250

Type: advisorySources: OSV

* SECURITY UPDATE: out-of-bounds read and write in bzip2recover when a .bz2 file yields more than BZ_MAX_HANDLED_BLOCKS block boundaries (ELSCVE-178967) - debian/patches/CVE-2026-42250.patch: correct the off-by-one in the block-count guard in bzip2recover.c, so the scanning loop stops one block earlier instead of indexing one past bStart, bEnd, rbStart and rbEnd. - CVE-2026-42250
