[Security] Bump nokogiri from 1.10.9 to 1.12.0

[dependabot-preview]

Bumps nokogiri from 1.10.9 to 1.12.0. This update includes security fixes.

Vulnerabilities fixed

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

XXE in Nokogiri

Severity

Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as Low Severity (CVSS3 2.6).

Description

In Nokogiri versions <= 1.11.0.rc3, XML Schemas parsed by Nokogiri::XML::Schema are trusted by default, allowing external resources to be accessed over the network, potentially enabling XXE or SSRF attacks.

This behavior is counter to the security policy followed by Nokogiri maintainers, which is to treat all input as untrusted by default whenever possible.

Please note that this security fix was pushed into a new minor version, 1.11.x, rather than a patch release to the 1.10.x branch, because it is a breaking change for some schemas and the risk was assessed to be "Low Severity".

Affected Versions

Nokogiri <= 1.10.10 as well as prereleases 1.11.0.rc1, 1.11.0.rc2, and 1.11.0.rc3

Update packaged dependency libxml2 from 2.9.10 to 2.9.12

Summary

Nokogiri v1.11.4 updates the vendored libxml2 from v2.9.10 to v2.9.12 which addresses:

• CVE-2019-20388 (Medium severity)
• CVE-2020-24977 (Medium severity)
• CVE-2021-3517 (Medium severity)
• CVE-2021-3518 (Medium severity)
• CVE-2021-3537 (Low severity)
• CVE-2021-3541 (Low severity)

Note that two additional CVEs were addressed upstream but are not relevant to this release. CVE-2021-3516 via xmllint is not present in Nokogiri, and CVE-2020-7595 has been patched in Nokogiri since v1.10.8 (see #1992).

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of Nokogiri < 1.11.4, and only if the packaged version of libxml2 is being used. If you've overridden defaults at installation time to use system libraries instead of packaged libraries, you should instead pay attention to your distro's libxml2 release announcements.

Mitigation

Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.11.4.

1.12.0 / 2021-08-02

Notable Addition: HTML5 Support (CRuby only)

HTML5 support has been added (to CRuby only) by merging Nokogumbo into Nokogiri. The Nokogumbo public API has been preserved, so this functionality is available under the Nokogiri::HTML5 namespace. [#2204]

Please note that HTML5 support is not available for JRuby in this version. However, we feel it is important to think about JRuby and we hope to work on this in the future. If you're interested in helping with HTML5 support on JRuby, please reach out to the maintainers by commenting on issue #2227.

Many thanks to Sam Ruby, Steve Checkoway, and Craig Barnes for creating and maintaining Nokogumbo and supporting the Gumbo HTML5 parser. They're now Nokogiri core contributors with all the powers and privileges pertaining thereto. 🙌

Notable Change: Nokogiri::HTML4 module and namespace

Nokogiri::HTML has been renamed to Nokogiri::HTML4, and Nokogiri::HTML is aliased to preserve backwards-compatibility. Nokogiri::HTML and Nokogiri::HTML4 parse methods still use libxml2's (or NekoHTML's) HTML4 parser in the v1.12 release series.

Take special note that if you rely on the class name of an object in your code, objects will now report a class of Nokogiri::HTML4::Foo where they previously reported Nokogiri::HTML::Foo. Instead of relying on the string returned by Object#class, prefer Class#=== or Object#is_a? or Object#instance_of?.

Future releases of Nokogiri may deprecate HTML methods or otherwise change this behavior, so please start using HTML4 in place of HTML.

Added

• [CRuby] Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO["libxslt"]["datetime_enabled"] is a new boolean value which describes whether libxslt (or, more properly, libexslt) has compiled-in datetime support. This generally going to be true, but some distros ship without this support (e.g., some mingw UCRT-based packages, see msys2/MINGW-packages#8957). See #2272 for more details.

Changed

• Introduce a new constant, Nokogiri::XML::ParseOptions::DEFAULT_XSLT, which adds the libxslt-preferred options of NOENT | DTDLOAD | DTDATTR | NOCDATA to ParseOptions::DEFAULT_XML.
• Nokogiri.XSLT parses stylesheets using ParseOptions::DEFAULT_XSLT, which should make some edge-case XSL transformations match libxslt's default behavior. [#1940]

Fixed

• [CRuby] Namespaced attributes are handled properly when their parent node is reparented into another document. Previously, the namespace may have gotten dropped. [#2228]
• [CRuby] Reparented nodes no longer inherit their parent's namespace. Previously, a node without a namespace was forced to adopt its parent's namespace. [#1712]

Improved

• [CRuby] Speed up (slightly) the compile time of packaged libraries libiconv, libxml2, and libxslt by using autoconf's --disable-dependency-tracking option. ("ruby" platform gem only.)

Deprecated

• Deprecating Nokogumbo's Nokogiri::HTML5.get. This method will be removed in a future version of Nokogiri.

Dependencies

• [CRuby] Upgrade mini_portile2 dependency from ~> 2.5.0 to ~> 2.6.1. ("ruby" platform gem only.)
