Description
In the Ox gem 2.8.1 for Ruby, the process crashes with a stack-based buffer over-read in the read_from_str function in sax_buf.c when a crafted input is supplied to sax_parse.
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.
