Chrome uses ffmpeg's underlying libraries.

It's used way, way more than you think.

Yes, I’m quite familiar with that. Chrome is why I added the “generally” qualifier.

And to the best of my knowledge, there has not been any in-the-wild exploit against Chrome through the handful of ffmpeg codecs they enable. Not even pwn2own type competitions either, as I recall.
