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
Nokogiri::XML::Schema trusts input by default, exposing risk of an XXE vulnerability
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
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.

[CRuby] DocumentFragment#path now does proper error-checking to handle behavior introduced in libxml > 2.9.10. In v1.11.4 and v1.11.5, calling DocumentFragment#path could result in a segfault.
1.11.5 / 2021-05-19
Fixed
[Windows CRuby] Work around segfault at process exit on Windows when using libxml2 system DLLs.
libxml 2.9.12 introduced new behavior to avoid memory leaks when unloading libxml2 shared libraries (see libxml/!66). Early testing caught this segfault on non-Windows platforms (see #2059 and libxml@956534e) but it was incompletely fixed and is still an issue on Windows platforms that are using system DLLs.
We work around this by configuring libxml2 in this situation to use its default memory management functions. Note that if Nokogiri is not on Windows, or is not using shared system libraries, it will will continue to configure libxml2 to use Ruby's memory management functions. Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO["libxml"]["memory_management"] will allow you to verify when the default memory management functions are being used. [#2241]
Added
Nokogiri::VERSION_INFO["libxml"] now contains the key "memory_management" to declare whether libxml2 is using its default memory management functions, or whether it uses the memory management functions from ruby. See above for more details.
