FreeBSD : mpv -- arbitrary code execution via crafted website (3ee6e521-0d32-11e8-99b0-d017c2987f9a)

high Nessus Plugin ID 106734

Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

mpv developers report :

mpv through 0.28.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted website, because it reads HTML documents containing VIDEO elements, and accepts arbitrary URLs in a src attribute without a protocol whitelist in player/lua/ytdl_hook.lua. For example, an av://lavfi:ladspa=file= URL signifies that the product should call dlopen on a shared object file located at an arbitrary local pathname.
The issue exists because the product does not consider that youtube-dl can provide a potentially unsafe URL.

Solution

Update the affected package.
