MEDIUM CVSS 6.3 nvd
Description
Nokogiri is an open source XML and HTML library for the Ruby programming language. Prior to 1.19.4, Nokogiri::XML::NodeSet#[] (and its alias #slice) checked the requested index against the node set's bounds using a 32-bit-truncated copy of the index. A large negative index could pass the check and then be used at full width, reading outside the node set's storage. On CRuby this is an out-of-bounds read that typically crashes the process; on JRuby it is not memory-unsafe but returns an incorrect node. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.19.4.

"value": "Nokogiri es una biblioteca XML y HTML de código abierto para el lenguaje de programación Ruby. Anteriormente a la 1.19.4, Nokogiri::XML::NodeSet#[] (y su alias #slice) verificaba el índice solicitado contra los límites del conjunto de nodos utilizando una copia truncada a 32 bits del índice. Un índice negativo grande podía pasar la verificación y luego ser utilizado a ancho completo, leyendo fuera del almacenamiento del conjunto de nodos. En CRuby, esto es una lectura fuera de límites que típicamente bloquea el proceso; en JRuby, no es inseguro para la memoria, pero devuelve un nodo incorrecto. Esta vulnerabilidad se ha corregido en la versión 1.19.4."
