Nokogiri updates packaged libxml2 to v2.13.8 to resolve CVE-2025-32414 and CVE-2025-32415

GHSA-5w6v-399v-w3cc

More information

Details

Summary

Nokogiri v1.18.8 upgrades its dependency libxml2 to v2.13.8.

libxml2 v2.13.8 addresses:

• CVE-2025-32414
  • described at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/889
• CVE-2025-32415
  • described at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/890

Impact

CVE-2025-32414: No impact

In libxml2 before 2.13.8 and 2.14.x before 2.14.2, out-of-bounds memory access can occur in the Python API (Python bindings) because of an incorrect return value. This occurs in xmlPythonFileRead and xmlPythonFileReadRaw because of a difference between bytes and characters.

There is no impact from this CVE for Nokogiri users.

CVE-2025-32415: Low impact

In libxml2 before 2.13.8 and 2.14.x before 2.14.2, xmlSchemaIDCFillNodeTables in xmlschemas.c has a heap-based buffer under-read. To exploit this, a crafted XML document must be validated against an XML schema with certain identity constraints, or a crafted XML schema must be used.

In the upstream issue, further context is provided by the maintainer:

The bug affects validation against untrusted XML Schemas (.xsd) and validation of untrusted
documents against trusted Schemas if they make use of xsd:keyref in combination with recursively
defined types that have additional identity constraints.

MITRE has published a severity score of 2.9 LOW (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) for this CVE.

Nokogiri patches vendored libxml2 to resolve multiple CVEs

GHSA-353f-x4gh-cqq8

More information

Details

Summary

Nokogiri v1.18.9 patches the vendored libxml2 to address CVE-2025-6021, CVE-2025-6170, CVE-2025-49794, CVE-2025-49795, and CVE-2025-49796.

Impact and severity

CVE-2025-6021

A flaw was found in libxml2's xmlBuildQName function, where integer overflows in buffer size calculations can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow. This issue can result in memory corruption or a denial of service when processing crafted input.

NVD claims a severity of 7.5 High (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Fixed by applying https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/17d950ae

CVE-2025-6170

A flaw was found in the interactive shell of the xmllint command-line tool, used for parsing XML files. When a user inputs an overly long command, the program does not check the input size properly, which can cause it to crash. This issue might allow attackers to run harmful code in rare configurations without modern protections.

NVD claims a severity of 2.5 Low (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

Fixed by applying https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/5e9ec5c1

CVE-2025-49794

A use-after-free vulnerability was found in libxml2. This issue occurs when parsing XPath elements under certain circumstances when the XML schematron has the <sch:name path="..."/> schema elements. This flaw allows a malicious actor to craft a malicious XML document used as input for libxml, resulting in the program's crash using libxml or other possible undefined behaviors.

NVD claims a severity of 9.1 Critical (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H)

Fixed by applying https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/81cef8c5

CVE-2025-49795

A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in libxml2 when processing XPath XML expressions. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious XML input to libxml2, leading to a denial of service.

NVD claims a severity of 7.5 High (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

Fixed by applying https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/62048278

CVE-2025-49796

A vulnerability was found in libxml2. Processing certain sch:name elements from the input XML file can trigger a memory corruption issue. This flaw allows an attacker to craft a malicious XML input file that can lead libxml to crash, resulting in a denial of service or other possible undefined behavior due to sensitive data being corrupted in memory.

NVD claims a severity of 9.1 Critical (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H)

Fixed by applying https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/commit/81cef8c5

Affected Versions

• Nokogiri < 1.18.9 when using CRuby (MRI) with vendored libxml2

Patched Versions

• Nokogiri >= 1.18.9

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri v1.18.9 or later.

Users who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated mitigation: compile and link Nokogiri against patched external libxml2 libraries which will also address these same issues.

Nokogiri does not check the return value from xmlC14NExecute

GHSA-wx95-c6cv-8532

More information

Details

Summary

Nokogiri's CRuby extension fails to check the return value from xmlC14NExecute in the method Nokogiri::XML::Document#canonicalize and Nokogiri::XML::Node#canonicalize. When canonicalization fails, an empty string is returned instead of raising an exception. This incorrect return value may allow downstream libraries to accept invalid or incomplete canonicalized XML, which has been demonstrated to enable signature validation bypass in SAML libraries.

JRuby is not affected, as the Java implementation correctly raises RuntimeError on canonicalization failure.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.19.1.

Severity

The maintainers have assessed this as Medium severity. Nokogiri itself is a parsing library without a clear security boundary related to canonicalization, so the direct impact is that a method returns incorrect data on invalid input. However, this behavior was exploited in practice to bypass SAML signature validation in downstream libraries (see References).

Severity

• CVSS Score: 5.3 / 10 (Medium)
• Vector String: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N

Nokogiri CSS selector tokenizer has regular expression backtracking

GHSA-c4rq-3m3g-8wgx

More information

Details

Summary

Nokogiri's CSS selector tokenizer contains regular expressions whose construction may result in exponential regex backtracking on adversarial selectors. Three ReDoS vectors are addressed in this release:

1. String-literal tokenization on certain unterminated quoted-string input.
2. String-literal tokenization on a separate class of hex-escape-rich input.
3. Identifier tokenization on hex-escape-rich input.

The public CSS selector methods that funnel through the affected tokenizer are Nokogiri::CSS.xpath_for, Node#css, Node#at_css, Searchable#search, and CSS::Parser#parse.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.19.3.

If users are unable to upgrade, two options are available:

• Avoid the use of attacker-controlled text in CSS selectors. Applications that only pass developer-authored selectors to Nokogiri are not directly exposed.
• Set global Regexp.timeout (Ruby 3.2+, JRuby 9.4+) to bound parse time.

Severity

The Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as High Severity (CVSS 7.5, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H).

An attacker able to inject user-supplied text into a CSS selector parse method can cause exponential backtracking, resulting in a potential denial of service.

Nokogiri XSLT transform has a memory leak

GHSA-v2fc-qm4h-8hqv

More information

Details

Summary

Nokogiri's Nokogiri::XSLT::Stylesheet#transform leaks a small heap allocation when passed a Ruby string parameter containing a null byte.

For applications that pass attacker-controlled input through XSLT.transform parameters, this may be a vector for a denial of service attack against long-running processes.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.19.3.

Users may also be able to mitigate this issue without upgrading by validating untrusted transform parameters before passing them to Nokogiri::XSLT::Stylesheet#transform.

Severity

The Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as Moderate Severity, CVSS 5.3.

Each leaked allocation is approximately 24–32 bytes, so meaningful memory growth requires sustained attacker-controlled traffic at high call rates. The bug does not cause memory corruption, information disclosure, or any change in the behavior of the transform itself, and the string-handling exception is raised as expected.

Applications that do not pass raw attacker-controlled bytes to XSLT parameters are unlikely to be affected in practice.
