[Security] Bump nokogiri from 1.10.4 to 1.11.4

[dependabot-preview]

Bumps nokogiri from 1.10.4 to 1.11.4. This update includes security fixes.

Vulnerabilities fixed

Sourced from The Ruby Advisory Database.

Nokogiri gem, via libxslt, is affected by multiple vulnerabilities Nokogiri v1.10.5 has been released.

This is a security release. It addresses three CVEs in upstream libxml2, for which details are below.

If you're using your distro's system libraries, rather than Nokogiri's vendored libraries, there's no security need to upgrade at this time, though you may want to check with your distro whether they've patched this (Canonical has patched Ubuntu packages). Note that libxslt 1.1.34 addresses these vulnerabilities.

Full details about the security update are available in Github Issue [#1943] sparklemotion/nokogiri#1943.

CVE-2019-13117

https://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/2019/CVE-2019-13117.html

... (truncated)

Patched versions: >= 1.10.5 Unaffected versions: none

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

Moderate severity vulnerability that affects nokogiri xmlStringLenDecodeEntities in parser.c in libxml2 2.9.10 has an infinite loop in a certain end-of-file situation. The Nokogiri RubyGem has patched it's vendored copy of libxml2 in order to prevent this issue from affecting nokogiri.

Affected versions: < 1.10.8

Sourced from The Ruby Advisory Database.

libxml2 2.9.10 has an infinite loop in a certain end-of-file situation Nokogiri has backported the patch for CVE-2020-7595 into its vendored version of libxml2, and released this as v1.10.8

CVE-2020-7595 has not yet been addressed in an upstream libxml2 release, and so Nokogiri versions <= v1.10.7 are vulnerable.

Patched versions: >= 1.10.8 Unaffected versions: none

XXE in Nokogiri

Severity

Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as Low Severity (CVSS3 2.6).

Description

In Nokogiri versions <= 1.11.0.rc3, XML Schemas parsed by Nokogiri::XML::Schema are trusted by default, allowing external resources to be accessed over the network, potentially enabling XXE or SSRF attacks.

This behavior is counter to the security policy followed by Nokogiri maintainers, which is to treat all input as untrusted by default whenever possible.

Please note that this security fix was pushed into a new minor version, 1.11.x, rather than a patch release to the 1.10.x branch, because it is a breaking change for some schemas and the risk was assessed to be "Low Severity".

Affected Versions

Nokogiri <= 1.10.10 as well as prereleases 1.11.0.rc1, 1.11.0.rc2, and 1.11.0.rc3

Mitigation

Update packaged dependency libxml2 from 2.9.10 to 2.9.12

Summary

Nokogiri v1.11.4 updates the vendored libxml2 from v2.9.10 to v2.9.12 which addresses:

• CVE-2019-20388 (Medium severity)
• CVE-2020-24977 (Medium severity)
• CVE-2021-3517 (Medium severity)
• CVE-2021-3518 (Medium severity)
• CVE-2021-3537 (Low severity)
• CVE-2021-3541 (Low severity)

Note that two additional CVEs were addressed upstream but are not relevant to this release. CVE-2021-3516 via xmllint is not present in Nokogiri, and CVE-2020-7595 has been patched in Nokogiri since v1.10.8 (see #1992).

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of Nokogiri < 1.11.4, and only if the packaged version of libxml2 is 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 >= 1.11.4.

Affected versions: < 1.11.4

1.11.4 / 2021-05-14

Security

[CRuby] Vendored libxml2 upgraded to v2.9.12 which addresses:

• CVE-2019-20388
• CVE-2020-24977
• CVE-2021-3517
• CVE-2021-3518
• CVE-2021-3537
• CVE-2021-3541

Note that two additional CVEs were addressed upstream but are not relevant to this release. CVE-2021-3516 via xmllint is not present in Nokogiri, and CVE-2020-7595 has been patched in Nokogiri since v1.10.8 (see #1992).

Please see nokogiri/GHSA-7rrm-v45f-jp64 or #2233 for a more complete analysis of these CVEs and patches.

Dependencies

• [CRuby] vendored libxml2 is updated from 2.9.10 to 2.9.12. (Note that 2.9.11 was skipped because it was superseded by 2.9.12 a few hours after its release.)

1.11.3 / 2021-04-07

Fixed

• [CRuby] Passing non-Node objects to Document#root= now raises an ArgumentError exception. Previously this likely segfaulted. [#1900]
• [JRuby] Passing non-Node objects to Document#root= now raises an ArgumentError exception. Previously this raised a TypeError exception.
• [CRuby] arm64/aarch64 systems (like Apple's M1) can now compile libxml2 and libxslt from source (though we continue to strongly advise users to install the native gems for the best possible experience)

1.11.2 / 2021-03-11

Fixed

• [CRuby] NodeSet may now safely contain Node objects from multiple documents. Previously the GC lifecycle of the parent Document objects could lead to nodes being GCed while still in scope. [#1952]
• [CRuby] Patch libxml2 to avoid "huge input lookup" errors on large CDATA elements. (See upstream GNOME/libxml2#200 and GNOME/libxml2!100.) [#2132].
• [CRuby+Windows] Enable Nokogumbo (and other downstream gems) to compile and link against nokogiri.so by including LDFLAGS in Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO. [#2167]
• [CRuby] {XML,HTML}::Document.parse now invokes #initialize exactly once. Previously #initialize was invoked twice on each object.
• [JRuby] {XML,HTML}::Document.parse now invokes #initialize exactly once. Previously #initialize was not called, which was a problem for subclassing such as done by Loofah.

Improved

• Reduce the number of object allocations needed when parsing an HTML::DocumentFragment. [#2087] (Thanks, @​ashmaroli!)
• [JRuby] Update the algorithm used to calculate Node#line to be wrong less-often. The underlying parser, Xerces, does not track line numbers, and so we've always used a hacky solution for this method. [#1223, #2177]
• Introduce --enable-system-libraries and --disable-system-libraries flags to extconf.rb. These flags provide the same functionality as --use-system-libraries and the NOKOGIRI_USE_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES environment variable, but are more idiomatic. [#2193] (Thanks, @​eregon!)
• [TruffleRuby] --disable-static is now the default on TruffleRuby when the packaged libraries are used. This is more flexible and compiles faster. (Note, though, that the default on TR is still to use system libraries.) [#2191, #2193] (Thanks, @​eregon!)
