| 6 | +title: Nokogiri gem, via libxml2, is affected by multiple vulnerabilities |
| 7 | +description: | |
| 8 | + Nokogiri 1.8.5 has been released. |
| 9 | +
|
| 10 | + This is a security and bugfix release. It addresses two CVEs in upstream |
| 11 | + libxml2 rated as "medium" by Red Hat, for which details are below. |
| 12 | +
|
| 13 | + If you're using your distro's system libraries, rather than Nokogiri's |
| 14 | + vendored libraries, there's no security need to upgrade at this time, |
| 15 | + though you may want to check with your distro whether they've patched this |
| 16 | + (Canonical has patched Ubuntu packages). Note that these patches are not |
| 17 | + yet (as of 2018-10-04) in an upstream release of libxml2. |
| 18 | +
|
| 19 | + Full details about the security update are available in Github Issue #1785. |

| 25 | + and CVE-2018-14567. Full details are available in #1785. Note that these |
| 26 | + patches are not yet (as of 2018-10-04) in an upstream release of libxml2. |

| 35 | +
|
| 36 | + Description: |
| 37 | +
|
| 38 | + A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the |
| 39 | + xpath.c:xmlXPathCompOpEval() function of libxml2 through 2.9.8 when |
| 40 | + parsing an invalid XPath expression in the XPATH_OP_AND or XPATH_OP_OR |
| 41 | + case. Applications processing untrusted XSL format inputs with the use of |
| 42 | + the libxml2 library may be vulnerable to a denial of service attack due |
| 43 | + to a crash of the application |
| 44 | +
|
| 45 | + Canonical rates this vulnerability as "Priority: Medium" |
