CVE-2018-6360 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Ubuntu:20.10 mpv to version 0.27.2-1ubuntu1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mpv package and not the mpv package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:20.10 relevant fixed versions and status.
mpv through 0.28.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site, because it reads HTML documents containing VIDEO elements, and accepts arbitrary URLs in a src attribute without a protocol whitelist in player/lua/ytdl_hook.lua. For example, an av://lavfi:ladspa=file= URL signifies that the product should call dlopen on a shared object file located at an arbitrary local pathname. The issue exists because the product does not consider that youtube-dl can provide a potentially unsafe URL.
