Description

A vulnerability was discovered in mpv with the handling of HTML documents containing VIDEO elements. Additionally, mpv accepts arbitrary URLs in a src attribute without a protocol whitelist in player/lua/ytdl_hook.lua.

Impact

A remote attacker, by enticing the user to visit a specially crafted web site, could execute arbitrary code.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All mpv users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-video/mpv-0.27.2"
