LOW CVSS 1.7 nvd
Description
Nokogiri is an open source XML and HTML library for the Ruby programming language. Prior to 1.19.4, Nokogiri’s CRuby native extension could leave a Ruby wrapper pointing to freed memory when replacing the value of an XML attribute. If Ruby code had already accessed an attribute child node, Nokogiri::XML::Attr#value= could free the underlying native child node while the wrapper remained reachable through the document node cache. A later use of the freed child node or a Ruby GC mark could dereference an invalid pointer, causing an invalid read and a possible segfault. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.19.4.

Antes de 1.19.4, la extensión nativa CRuby de Nokogiri podría dejar un wrapper de Ruby apuntando a memoria liberada al reemplazar el valor de un atributo XML.

Un uso posterior del nodo hijo liberado o una marca de GC de Ruby podría desreferenciar un puntero inválido, causando una lectura inválida y un posible segfault.
