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).
