[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 3/3] avformat/hls: Be more picky on extensions

Michael Niedermayer michael at niedermayer.cc
Thu Jan 16 05:39:51 EET 2025


This blocks disallowed extensions from probing
It also requires segments to have matching extensions to the format

It is recommended to set the whitelists correctly
instead of depending on extensions, but this should help a bit,
and this is easier to backport

Fixes: CVE-2023-6602 II. HLS Force TTY Demuxer
Fixes: CVE-2023-6602 IV. HLS XBIN Demuxer DoS Amplification

The other parts of CVE-2023-6602 have been fixed by prior commits
