AIUI, (lib)ffmpeg is used by practically everything that does anything with video, including such definitely-security-sensitive things as Chrome, which people use to play untrusted content all the time.
- cogman10 11mo agohmm, didn't realize chrome was using ffmpeg in the background. That definitely makes it more dangerous than I supposed. Looks like firefox does the same.
- conradev 11mo agoFirefox has moved some parsers to Rust: https://github.com/mozilla/mp4parse-rust https://github.com/mozilla/mp4parse-rust
- rebelwebmaster 11mo agoFirefox also does a lot of media decoding in a separate process.
- xxs 11mo agoPretty much anything that has any video uses the library (incl. youtube)
- godshatter 11mo agoThen maybe the Google chrome devs should submit a PR to ffmpeg.
- omnicognate 11mo agoSure. And fund them.
- walletdrainer 11mo agoChrome devs frequently do just that, Chrome just doesn’t enable this codec.
