{"id":"GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j","summary":"Nokogiri update packaged libxml2 to v2.12.5 to resolve CVE-2024-25062","details":"## Summary\n\nNokogiri upgrades its dependency libxml2 as follows:\n- Nokogiri v1.15.6 upgrades libxml2 to [2.11.7](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/releases/v2.11.7) from 2.11.6\n- Nokogiri v1.16.2 upgrades libxml2 to [2.12.5](https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/releases/v2.12.5) from 2.12.4\n\nlibxml2 v2.11.7 and v2.12.5 address the following vulnerability:\n\n- CVE-2024-25062 / https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2024-25062\n  - described at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/604\n  - patched by https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/92721970\n\nPlease 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.\n\nJRuby users are not affected.\n\n## Mitigation\n\nUpgrade to Nokogiri `~\u003e 1.15.6` or `\u003e= 1.16.2`.\n\nUsers who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated mitigation: compile\nand link Nokogiri against patched external libxml2 libraries which will also address these same\nissues.\n\n## Impact\n\nFrom the CVE description, this issue applies to the `xmlTextReader` module (which underlies `Nokogiri::XML::Reader`):\n\n\u003e 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.\n\n## Timeline\n\n- 2024-02-04 10:35 EST - this GHSA is drafted without complete details about when the upstream issue was introduced; a request is made of libxml2 maintainers for more detailed information\n- 2024-02-04 10:48 EST - updated GHSA to reflect libxml2 maintainers' confirmation of affected versions\n- 2024-02-04 11:54 EST - v1.16.2 published, this GHSA made public\n- 2024-02-05 10:18 EST - updated with MITRE link to the CVE information, and updated \"Impact\" section\n- 2024-03-16 09:03 EDT - v1.15.6 published (see discussion at https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/discussions/3146), updated mitigation information\n- 2024-03-18 22:12 EDT - update \"affected products\" range with v1.15.6 information","aliases":["CVE-2024-58378"],"modified":"2026-08-26T03:59:45.497059076Z","published":"2024-02-05T20:22:56Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-416"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true,"github_reviewed_at":"2024-02-05T20:22:56Z","nvd_published_at":null},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/security/advisories/GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-25062"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db/blob/master/gems/nokogiri/GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j.yml"},{"type":"PACKAGE","url":"https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/sparklemotion/nokogiri/discussions/3146"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/92721970"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/604"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/releases/v2.12.5"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"nokogiri","ecosystem":"RubyGems","purl":"pkg:gem/nokogiri"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"1.16.0"},{"fixed":"1.16.2"}]}],"versions":["1.16.0","1.16.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/02/GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j/GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j.json"}},{"package":{"name":"nokogiri","ecosystem":"RubyGems","purl":"pkg:gem/nokogiri"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.15.6"}]}],"versions":["1.0.0","1.0.1","1.0.2","1.0.3","1.0.4","1.0.5","1.0.6","1.0.7","1.1.0","1.1.1","1.10.0","1.10.0.rc1","1.10.1","1.10.10","1.10.2","1.10.3","1.10.4","1.10.5","1.10.6","1.10.7","1.10.8","1.10.9","1.11.0","1.11.0.rc1","1.11.0.rc2","1.11.0.rc3","1.11.0.rc4","1.11.1","1.11.2","1.11.3","1.11.4","1.11.5","1.11.6","1.11.7","1.12.0","1.12.0.rc1","1.12.1","1.12.2","1.12.3","1.12.4","1.12.5","1.13.0","1.13.1","1.13.10","1.13.2","1.13.3","1.13.4","1.13.5","1.13.6","1.13.7","1.13.8","1.13.9","1.14.0","1.14.0.rc1","1.14.1","1.14.2","1.14.3","1.14.4","1.14.5","1.15.0","1.15.1","1.15.2","1.15.3","1.15.4","1.15.5","1.2.0","1.2.1","1.2.2","1.2.3","1.3.0","1.3.1","1.3.2","1.3.3","1.4.0","1.4.1","1.4.2","1.4.2.1","1.4.3","1.4.3.1","1.4.4","1.4.4.1","1.4.4.2","1.4.5","1.4.6","1.4.7","1.5.0","1.5.0.beta.1","1.5.0.beta.2","1.5.0.beta.3","1.5.0.beta.4","1.5.1","1.5.1.rc1","1.5.10","1.5.11","1.5.2","1.5.3","1.5.3.rc2","1.5.3.rc3","1.5.3.rc4","1.5.3.rc5","1.5.3.rc6","1.5.4","1.5.4.rc1","1.5.4.rc2","1.5.4.rc3","1.5.5","1.5.5.rc1","1.5.5.rc2","1.5.5.rc3","1.5.6","1.5.6.rc1","1.5.6.rc2","1.5.6.rc3","1.5.7","1.5.7.rc1","1.5.7.rc2","1.5.7.rc3","1.5.8","1.5.9","1.6.0","1.6.0.rc1","1.6.1","1.6.2","1.6.2.1","1.6.2.rc1","1.6.2.rc2","1.6.2.rc3","1.6.3","1.6.3.1","1.6.3.rc1","1.6.3.rc2","1.6.3.rc3","1.6.4","1.6.4.1","1.6.5","1.6.6.1","1.6.6.2","1.6.6.3","1.6.6.4","1.6.7","1.6.7.1","1.6.7.2","1.6.7.rc2","1.6.7.rc3","1.6.7.rc4","1.6.8","1.6.8.1","1.6.8.rc1","1.6.8.rc2","1.6.8.rc3","1.7.0","1.7.0.1","1.7.1","1.7.2","1.8.0","1.8.1","1.8.2","1.8.3","1.8.4","1.8.5","1.9.0","1.9.0.rc1","1.9.1"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2024/02/GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j/GHSA-xc9x-jj77-9p9j.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0"}
