Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

Nokogiri 1.13.9 之前版本(基于 CRuby 实现并使用内置库的版本)打包了 libxml2 v2.9.14,该版本受以下漏洞影响:CVE-2022-40304(当实体内容从字典分配时,实体引用循环可能导致数据损坏或双重释放)和 CVE-2022-40303(在使用 XML_PARSE_HUGE 标志解析时可能发生整数溢出)。Nokogiri 1.13.9 已将内置的 libxml2 升级至 v2.10.3,以修复这些问题。处理精心构造的 XML 输入可能导致拒绝服务(DoS)或内存损坏。(该安全公告

Vulnerability Title
Nokogiri before 1.13.9 Multiple Vulnerabilities via libxml2
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
Nokogiri before 1.13.9 (CRuby implementation using packaged libraries) bundles libxml2 v2.9.14, which is affected by CVE-2022-40304 (data corruption / double-free from an entity reference cycle when entity content is allocated from a dict) and CVE-2022-40303 (integer overflows when parsing with XML_PARSE_HUGE). Nokogiri 1.13.9 upgrades the packaged libxml2 to v2.10.3 to address these issues. Processing crafted XML input may lead to denial of service or memory corruption. (The advisory also references CVE-2022-2309, a NULL pointer dereference via iterwalk/canonicalize, which maintainers determined does not affect Nokogiri users.)
