Subject: [arch-dev-public] FFmpeg vulnerability

Hi all,

A vulnerability via which someone can steal files from remote machines has
been discovered in FFmpeg and was made public. See associated bug report
[1].
Disabling networking altogether seems a bit much, but James Darnley @
FFmpeg suggested that disabling HLS should do the trick until a fix is
committed so I'll go ahead and rebuild our FFmpeg without the HLS and
AppleHTTP demuxers.

Cheers,
