Description
In the Ox gem 2.8.0 for Ruby, the process crashes with a segmentation fault when a crafted input is supplied to parse_obj. NOTE: the vendor has stated "Ox should handle the error more gracefully" but has not confirmed a security implication.
A fast XML parser and object serializer that uses only standard C lib.
Optimized XML (Ox), as the name implies was written to provide speed optimized
XML handling. It was designed to be an alternative to Nokogiri and other Ruby
XML parsers for generic XML parsing and as an alternative to Marshal for Object
serialization.
