Synopsis
========

A vulnerability has been discovered in Nokogiri, which can lead to a
denial of service.

Background
==========

Nokogiri is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser.

Affected packages
=================

Package Vulnerable Unaffected
----------------- ------------ ------------
dev-ruby/nokogiri < 1.13.10 >= 1.13.10

Description
===========

A denial of service vulnerability has been discovered in Nokogiri.
Please review the CVE identifier referenced below for details.

Impact
======

Nokogiri fails to check the return value from `xmlTextReaderExpand` in
the method `Nokogiri::XML::Reader#attribute_hash`. This can lead to a
null pointer exception when invalid markup is being parsed. For
applications using `XML::Reader` to parse untrusted inputs, this may potentially be a vector for a denial of service attack.

Workaround
==========

Users may be able to search their code for calls to either `XML::Reader#attributes` or `XML::Reader#attribute_hash` to determine if
they are affected.

Resolution
==========

All Nokogiri users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-ruby/nokogiri-1.13.10"
