GHSA-5prr-v3j2-97mh: Nokogiri: Possible Out-of-Bounds Read in `Nokogiri::XML::NodeSet#[]`
Nokogiri::XML::NodeSet#[] (and its alias #slice) checked the requested index against the node set’s bounds using a 32-bit-truncated copy of the index. A large negative index could pass the check and then be used at full width, reading outside the node set’s storage. On CRuby this is an out-of-bounds read that typically crashes the process; on JRuby it is not memory-unsafe but returns an incorrect node.
Nokogiri 1.19.4 performs the bounds check against the full-width index.
