Nokogiri updates packaged libxml2 to 2.13.6 to resolve CVE-2025-24928 and CVE-2024-56171

GHSA-vvfq-8hwr-qm4m

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (nokogiri 1.18.3), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Summary Nokogiri v1.18.3 upgrades its dependency libxml2 to v2.13.6. libxml2 v2.13.6 addresses: - CVE-2025-24928 - described at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/847 - CVE-2024-56171 - described at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libxml2/-/issues/828 Impact CVE-2025-24928 Stack-buffer overflow is possible when reporting DTD validation errors if the input contains a long (~3kb) QName prefix. CVE-2024-56171 Use-after-free is possible during validation against untrusted XML Schemas (.xsd) and, potentially, validation of untrusted documents against trusted Schemas if they make use of xsd:keyref in combination with recursively defined types that have additional identity constraints.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-vvfq-8hwr-qm4m

Advisory: Nokogiri updates packaged libxml2 to 2.13.6 to resolve CVE-2025-24928 and CVE-2024-56171
IDs: GHSA-vvfq-8hwr-qm4m
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-vvfq-8hwr-qm4m (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 15:48 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: nokogiri 1.18.3. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- RubyGems nokogiri: affected < 1.18.3; fixed in 1.18.3

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- RubyGems nokogiri: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on nokogiri.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-vvfq-8hwr-qm4m (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-vvfq-8hwr-qm4m lists affected ranges: RubyGems nokogiri >=0 <1.18.3)
