    Does nobody isolate ffmpeg and friends from their application?

    I can’t imagine you’d have much fun breaking into a container that terminates the moment the original ffmpeg stops, or over-runs its max execution time…

        If you’re running rootless containers, it’s less of a concern. I’m trying to move all of my public containers to podman for this reason

      Sure, you’d need a second exploit to escalate from there.

      ffmpeg is expected to run for extended periods of time, given its use in transcoding.
