Nokogiri before 1.15.6 and 1.16.x before 1.16.2 (CRuby, when using the packaged libxml2) is affected by a use-after-free vulnerability in libxml2 (CVE-2024-25062) in the xmlTextReader module, which underlies Nokogiri::XML::Reader. When using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude expansion enabled, processing a crafted XML document can lead to an xmlValidatePopElement use-after-free. Nokogiri 1.15.6 and 1.16.2 resolve this by upgrading the packaged libxml2 to 2.11.7 and 2.12.5 respectively. JRuby and installations using system libxml2 are not affected.
