Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Nokogiri has a vulnerability allowing arbitrary execution of code if a |
19 |
certain function is used. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
Nokogiri is an HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parser. |

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
A command injection vulnerability in Nokogiri allows commands to be |
38 |
executed in a subprocess by Ruby's Kernel.open method. Processes are |
39 |
vulnerable only if the undocumented method |
40 |
Nokogiri::CSS::Tokenizer#load_file is being passed untrusted user |
41 |
input. |
42 |
|
43 |
Impact |
44 |
====== |
45 |
|
46 |
A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the |
47 |
privileges of the process. |
48 |
|
49 |
Workaround |
50 |
========== |
51 |
|
52 |
Avoid calling the undocumented method |
53 |
Nokogiri::CSS::Tokenizer#load_file with untrusted user input. |
54 |
|
55 |
Resolution |
56 |
========== |
57 |
|
58 |
All Nokogiri users should upgrade to the latest version: |
59 |
|
60 |
# emerge --sync |
61 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=dev-ruby/nokogiri-1.10.4" |
