06 Jun 2021

Affected Packages:

ruby-nokogiri

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Debian bugtracking system: Bug 978967.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2020-26247.

More information:

An XXE vulnerability was found in Nokogiri, a Rubygem providing HTML, XML, SAX, and Reader parsers with XPath and CSS selector support.

XML Schemas parsed by Nokogiri::XML::Schema were trusted by default, allowing external resources to be accessed over the network, potentially enabling XXE or SSRF attacks. The new default behavior is to treat all input as untrusted. The upstream advisory provides further information how to mitigate the problem or restore the old behavior again.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 1.6.8.1-1+deb9u1.
