Zero-Day FFmpeg Vulnerability Lets Anyone Steal Files from Remote Machines
Please read this: http://news.softpedia.com/news/zero-day ... 8880.shtml

How about porteus, It should also be affected by it. In SMPlayer I found the ffmpeg being used for mpeg files.

thanks for the heads up. I use Nemesis and users will find an update replaces the vulnerable 2.8.4 version with 2.8.5

Code: Select all

pacman -S ffmpeg
warning: ffmpeg-1:2.8.5-2 is up to date
^^ either prefix pacman command with sudo if you login as guest or leave it alone

For normal Porteus users please check what usm has to say when you search it please.
