CVE-2018-6360 - log back

CVE-2018-6360 created at 25 Sep 2019 19:31:40
Severity
+ High
Remote
+ Remote
Type
+ Arbitrary code execution
Description
+ mpv allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site, 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.
