Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-08-25 15:35:08 UTC
Nokogiri versions before 1.19.3 contain a memory leak in the XSLT Stylesheet transform method when processing Ruby strings containing null bytes. Attackers can exploit this by passing attacker-controlled input with null bytes to transform parameters, causing heap allocations to leak and enabling denial of service against long-running processes.

Comment 3 Octavia 2026-09-09 03:05:07 UTC
The Nokogiri XSLT ( https://amonggame.org ) memory leak is a significant security concern, so tracking the affected versions and available fixes should be a priority to prevent potential denial-of-service issues.
