nokogiri 1.13.9-x86_64-darwin

4 security vulnerabilities found in version 1.13.9-x86_64-darwin

Unchecked return value from xmlTextReaderExpand

high severity CVE-2022-23476
high severity CVE-2022-23476
Patched versions: >= 1.13.10
Unaffected versions: <= 1.13.7

Summary

Nokogiri 1.13.8, 1.13.9 fails to check the return value from xmlTextReaderExpand in the method Nokogiri::XML::Reader#attribute_hash. This can lead to a null pointer exception when invalid markup is being parsed.

For applications using XML::Reader to parse untrusted inputs, this may potentially be a vector for a denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.13.10.

Users may be able to search their code for calls to either XML::Reader#attributes or XML::Reader#attribute_hash to determine if they are affected.

Severity

The Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as High Severity 7.5 (CVSS3.1).

Use-after-free in libxml2 via Nokogiri::XML::Reader

medium severity GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j
medium severity GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j
Patched versions: ~> 1.15.6, >= 1.16.2

Summary

Nokogiri upgrades its dependency libxml2 as follows:

  • v1.15.6 upgrades libxml2 to 2.11.7 from 2.11.6
  • v1.16.2 upgrades libxml2 to 2.12.5 from 2.12.4

libxml2 v2.11.7 and v2.12.5 address the following vulnerability:

CVE-2024-25062 / https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2024-25062

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of Nokogiri, 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 release announcements.

JRuby users are not affected.

Severity

The Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as Moderate.

Impact

From the CVE description, this issue applies to the xmlTextReader module (which underlies Nokogiri::XML::Reader):

When using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude expansion enabled, processing crafted XML documents can lead to an xmlValidatePopElement use-after-free.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri ~> 1.15.6 or >= 1.16.2.

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

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.

libxml2 v2.10.4 addresses the following known vulnerabilities:

  • CVE-2023-29469: Hashing of empty dict strings isn't deterministic
  • CVE-2023-28484: Fix null deref in xmlSchemaFixupComplexType
  • Schemas: Fix null-pointer-deref in xmlSchemaCheckCOSSTDerivedOK

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of Nokogiri < 1.14.3, 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 release announcements.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.14.3.

Users who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated mitigation: compile and link Nokogiri against external libraries libxml2 >= 2.10.4 which will also address these same issues.

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.
