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.

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.

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.

Improper Handling of Unexpected Data Type in Nokogiri

high severity CVE-2022-29181
high severity CVE-2022-29181
Patched versions: >= 1.13.6

Summary

Nokogiri < v1.13.6 does not type-check all inputs into the XML and HTML4 SAX parsers. For CRuby users, this may allow specially crafted untrusted inputs to cause illegal memory access errors (segfault) or reads from unrelated memory.

Severity

The Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as High 8.2 (CVSS3.1).

Mitigation

CRuby users should upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.13.6.

JRuby users are not affected.

Workarounds

To avoid this vulnerability in affected applications, ensure the untrusted input is a String by calling #to_s or equivalent.

Update packaged libxml2 to v2.10.4 to resolve multiple CVEs

medium severity GHSA-pxvg-2qj5-37jq
medium severity GHSA-pxvg-2qj5-37jq
Patched versions: >= 1.14.3

Summary

Nokogiri v1.14.3 upgrades the packaged version of its dependency libxml2 to v2.10.4 from v2.10.3.

Impact

No public information has yet been published about the security-related issues other than the upstream commits. Examination of those changesets indicate that the more serious issues relate to libxml2 dereferencing NULL pointers and potentially segfaulting while parsing untrusted inputs.

Users who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated mitigation: compile and link Nokogiri against external libraries libxml2 >= 2.10.3 which will also address these same issues.

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.
