CVE-2026-43896:
Excluded patching for the file src/parse.c. Since parser.c is a autogenerated C code, cannot be patched manually. So, generated it by using --enable-maintainer-mode configure option in spec file. Makefile.am
Rest all changes matches with upstream.

CVE-2026-44777:
Patch matches with upstream patch. Slight variation in deleted lines
