nokogiri uses the libxml2 C library. The version that nokogiri uses is vulnerable to CVE-2016-1838 which allows a malicious user to pass a XML document to the application, triggering a heap-based buffer over-read causing it to crash. This is triggered through the xmlPArserPrintFileContextInternal function in LibXML2.
