CVE-2024-58378
Description
Nokogiri before 1.15.6 and 1.16.x before 1.16.2, when using bundled libxml2, is affected by the libxml2 flaw CVE-2024-25062.
Statement
This CVE does not represent a flaw in Nokogiri, but is rather a duplicate assignment for different CVEs affecting libxml2 or libxslt.
The rubygem-nokogiri packages as shipped in Red Hat products do not bundled libxml2 and libxslt, but rather use system packages of those libraries. This CVE is therefore not applicable to the rubygem-nokogiri packages provided by Red Hat.
Mitigation
Upgrade Nokogiri to 1.15.6 or to 1.16.2 or later. If upgrading is not possible, compile and link Nokogiri against patched external libxml2 libraries. Installations using system libxml2 and JRuby users are not affected by this advisory.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
