Description
Arch Linux reports: ffmpeg has a vulnerability in the current version that allows the attacker to create a specially crafted video file, downloading which will send files from a user PC to a remote attacker server. The attack does not even require the user to open that file — for example, KDE Dolphin thumbnail generation is enough.
