Package : ruby-nokogiri Version : 1.11.1+dfsg-2+deb11u1 CVE ID : CVE-2022-24836 Debian Bug : 1009787

A vulnerability was discovered in Nokogiri, an open source XML and HTML library for Ruby. An inefficient regular expression was susceptible to excessive backtracking when attempting to detect encoding in HTML documents. This could lead to denial-of-service.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 1.11.1+dfsg-2+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby-nokogiri packages.
