SCA: security update for nokogiri (GHSA-qv4q-mr5r-qprj)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 418319

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Nokogiri is an open source XML and HTML library for the Ruby programming language. Nokogiri `1.13.8` and
 `1.13.9` fail to check the return value from `xmlTextReaderExpand` in the method
 `Nokogiri::XML::Reader#attribute_hash`. This can lead to a null pointer exception when invalid markup is
 being parsed. For applications using `XML::Reader` to parse untrusted inputs, this may potentially be a
 vector for a denial of service attack. Users are advised to upgrade to Nokogiri `>= 1.13.10`. Users may be
 able to search their code for calls to either `XML::Reader#attributes` or `XML::Reader#attribute_hash` to
 determine if they are affected. (CVE-2022-23476)
