Descriptions

FFmpeg 2.x allows remote attackers to conduct cross-origin attacks and read arbitrary files by using the concat protocol in an HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) M3U8 file, leading to an external HTTP request in which the URL string contains the first line of a local file.

FFmpeg 2.x permite a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de origen cruzado y leer archivos arbitrarios usando el protocolo concat en un archivo HTTP Live Streaming (HLS) M3U8, dando lugar a una petición HTTP externa en la que la cadena URL contiene la primera línea de un archivo local.

It was discovered that Libav incorrectly handled certain malformed media files. If a user were tricked into opening a crafted media file, an attacker could cause a denial of service via application crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
