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.
