CVE-2024-25062 / https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2024-25062
described at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/604

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of
Nokogiri < 1.16.2, and only if the packaged libraries are 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.

JRuby users are not affected.
### Severity
The Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as **Moderate**.
### Mitigation
### Impact
Upgrade to Nokogiri >= 1.16.2.
From the CVE description, this issue applies to the `xmlTextReader` module (which underlies
`Nokogiri::XML::Reader`):
Users who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated
mitigation: compile and link Nokogiri against external libraries libxml2 >=
2.12.5 which will also address these same issues.
> When using the XML Reader interface with DTD validation and XInclude expansion enabled,
> processing crafted XML documents can lead to an xmlValidatePopElement use-after-free.
JRuby users are not affected.
### Mitigation
Upgrade to Nokogiri `~> 1.15.6` or `>= 1.16.2`.
### Workarounds
Users who are unable to upgrade Nokogiri may also choose a more complicated mitigation: compile
and link Nokogiri against patched external libxml2 libraries which will also address these same
issues.
