Synopsis
========
A vulnerability has been discovered in Nokogiri, which can lead to a
denial of service.
Background
==========
Nokogiri is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser.
Affected packages
=================
Package Vulnerable Unaffected
----------------- ------------ ------------
dev-ruby/nokogiri < 1.13.10 >= 1.13.10
Description
===========
A denial of service vulnerability has been discovered in Nokogiri.
Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details.
Impact
======
Nokogiri 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.
Workaround
==========
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.
Resolution
==========
All Nokogiri users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-ruby/nokogiri-1.13.10"
