Steven Liu 01044d0453 avformat/hls: Enforce protocol checks when opening child playlists
Fix: vulnerability:019f3b84-903b-75fb-a8de-fad1c2d7e99c
The parse_playlist() path for opening a new child playlist (in == NULL)
directly called c->ctx->io_open(), bypassing the protocol whitelist and
file-extension checks that open_url() enforces. This allowed child URLs
from a master playlist to use protocols other than file/http/data or to
have disallowed extensions.

Route the !in branch through open_url() so that all child playlists are
subject to the same security policy as segment URLs.

Fixes a security bypass in HLS master playlist parsing.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
