Out-of-bounds Write in zlib affects Nokogiri

high severity GHSA-v6gp-9mmm-c6p5
high severity GHSA-v6gp-9mmm-c6p5
Affected versions: < 1.13.4

Summary

Nokogiri v1.13.4 updates the vendored zlib from 1.2.11 to 1.2.12, which addresses CVE-2018-25032. That CVE is scored as CVSS 7.4 "High" on the NVD record as of 2022-04-05.

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of Nokogiri < 1.13.4, and only if the packaged version of zlib is being used. Please see this document for a complete description of which platform gems vendor zlib. If you've overridden defaults at installation time to use system libraries instead of packaged libraries, you should instead pay attention to your distro's zlib release announcements.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= v1.13.4.

Impact

CVE-2018-25032 in zlib

  • Severity: High
  • Type: CWE-787 Out of bounds write
  • Description: zlib before 1.2.12 allows memory corruption when deflating (i.e., when compressing) if the input has many distant matches.

Denial of Service (DoS) in Nokogiri on JRuby

high severity GHSA-gx8x-g87m-h5q6
high severity GHSA-gx8x-g87m-h5q6
Affected versions: < 1.13.4

Summary

Nokogiri v1.13.4 updates the vendored org.cyberneko.html library to 1.9.22.noko2 which addresses CVE-2022-24839. That CVE is rated 7.5 (High Severity).

See GHSA-9849-p7jc-9rmv for more information.

Please note that this advisory only applies to the JRuby implementation of Nokogiri < 1.13.4.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.13.4.

Impact

CVE-2022-24839 in nekohtml

  • Severity: High 7.5
  • Type: CWE-400 Uncontrolled Resource Consumption
  • Description: The fork of org.cyberneko.html used by Nokogiri (Rubygem) raises a java.lang.OutOfMemoryError exception when parsing ill-formed HTML markup.
  • See also: GHSA-9849-p7jc-9rmv

Vulnerable dependencies in Nokogiri

high severity GHSA-fq42-c5rg-92c2
high severity GHSA-fq42-c5rg-92c2
Affected versions: < 1.13.2

Summary

Nokogiri v1.13.2 upgrades two of its packaged dependencies:

  • vendored libxml2 from v2.9.12 to v2.9.13
  • vendored libxslt from v1.1.34 to v1.1.35

Those library versions address the following upstream CVEs:

Those library versions also address numerous other issues including performance improvements, regression fixes, and bug fixes, as well as memory leaks and other use-after-free issues that were not assigned CVEs.

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of Nokogiri < 1.13.2, and only if the packaged libraries are being used. If you've overridden defaults at installation time to use system libraries instead of packaged libraries, you should instead pay attention to your distro's libxml2 and libxslt release announcements.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.13.2.

Users who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated mitigation: compile and link an older version Nokogiri against external libraries libxml2 >= 2.9.13 and libxslt >= 1.1.35, which will also address these same CVEs.

Impact

libxslt CVE-2021-30560

All versions of libxslt prior to v1.1.35 are affected.

Applications using untrusted XSL stylesheets to transform XML are vulnerable to a denial-of-service attack and should be upgraded immediately.

libxml2 CVE-2022-23308

The upstream commit and the explanation linked above indicate that an application may be vulnerable to a denial of service, memory disclosure, or code execution if it parses an untrusted document with parse options DTDVALID set to true, and NOENT set to false.

An analysis of these parse options:

  • While NOENT is off by default for Document, DocumentFragment, Reader, and Schema parsing, it is on by default for XSLT (stylesheet) parsing in Nokogiri v1.12.0 and later.
  • DTDVALID is an option that Nokogiri does not set for any operations, and so this CVE applies only to applications setting this option explicitly.

It seems reasonable to assume that any application explicitly setting the parse option DTDVALID when parsing untrusted documents is vulnerable and should be upgraded immediately.

Integer Overflow or Wraparound in libxml2 affects Nokogiri

high severity GHSA-cgx6-hpwq-fhv5
high severity GHSA-cgx6-hpwq-fhv5
Patched versions: >= 1.13.5

Summary

Nokogiri v1.13.5 upgrades the packaged version of its dependency libxml2 from v2.9.13 to v2.9.14.

libxml2 v2.9.14 addresses CVE-2022-29824. This version also includes several security-related bug fixes for which CVEs were not created, including a potential double-free, potential memory leaks, and integer-overflow.

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of Nokogiri < 1.13.5, and only if the packaged libraries are being used. If you've overridden defaults at installation time to use system libraries instead of packaged libraries, you should instead pay attention to your distro's libxml2 and libxslt release announcements.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.13.5.

Users who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated mitigation: compile and link Nokogiri against external libraries libxml2 >= 2.9.14 which will also address these same issues.

Impact

libxml2 CVE-2022-29824

  • CVSS3 score:
  • Type: Denial of service, information disclosure
  • Description: In libxml2 before 2.9.14, several buffer handling functions in buf.c (xmlBuf*) and tree.c (xmlBuffer*) don't check for integer overflows. This can result in out-of-bounds memory writes. Exploitation requires a victim to open a crafted, multi-gigabyte XML file. Other software using libxml2's buffer functions, for example libxslt through 1.1.35, is affected as well.
  • Fixed: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/2554a24

All versions of libml2 prior to v2.9.14 are affected.

Applications parsing or serializing multi-gigabyte documents (in excess of INT_MAX bytes) may be vulnerable to an integer overflow bug in buffer handling that could lead to exposure of confidential data, modification of unrelated data, or a segmentation fault resulting in a denial-of-service.

Impact

libxml2 CVE-2022-2309

  • CVSS3 score: Under evaluation
  • Type: Denial of service
  • Description: NULL Pointer Dereference allows attackers to cause a denial of service (or application crash). This only applies when lxml is used together with libxml2 2.9.10 through 2.9.14. libxml2 2.9.9 and earlier are not affected. It allows triggering crashes through forged input data, given a vulnerable code sequence in the application. The vulnerability is caused by the iterwalk function (also used by the canonicalize function). Such code shouldn't be in wide-spread use, given that parsing + iterwalk would usually be replaced with the more efficient iterparse function. However, an XML converter that serialises to C14N would also be vulnerable, for example, and there are legitimate use cases for this code sequence. If untrusted input is received (also remotely) and processed via iterwalk function, a crash can be triggered.

Nokogiri maintainers investigated at #2620 and determined this CVE does not affect Nokogiri users.

libxml2 CVE-2022-40304

  • CVSS3 score: Unspecified upstream
  • Type: Data corruption, denial of service
  • Description: When an entity reference cycle is detected, the entity content is cleared by setting its first byte to zero. But the entity content might be allocated from a dict. In this case, the dict entry becomes corrupted leading to all kinds of logic errors, including memory errors like double-frees.
