Package        : libnokogiri-ruby
Version        : 1.4.0-4+deb6u1
CVE ID         : CVE-2012-6685

An XML eXternal Entity (XXE) flaw was found in Nokogiri, a Ruby gem for
parsing HTML, XML, and SAX. Using external XML entities, a remote attacker
could specify a URL in a specially crafted XML that, when parsed, would
cause a connection to that URL to be opened.

This update enables the "nonet" option by default (and provides new
methods to disable default options if needed).
