CVE-2019-13117: Uninitialized read in Nokogiri gem

May 24, 2022 (updated June 9, 2026)

In numbers.c in libxslt 1.1.33, an xsl:number with certain format strings could lead to a uninitialized read in xsltNumberFormatInsertNumbers. This could allow an attacker to discern whether a byte on the stack contains the characters A, a, I, i, or 0, or any other character.
