title: Possible invalid memory read when calling `Nokogiri::XML::Node#initialize_copy_with_args`
13+
with incorrect argument type

## Summary
17+
18+
The protected copy helper behind Node#dup and #clone unwrapped its
19+
source argument as an xmlNode without a type check.
20+
Supplying a non-Node (e.g. a Namespace) made it read an xmlNs
21+
out of bounds, crashing the process.
22+
23+
Nokogiri 1.19.4 performs a type check and raises TypeError when an
24+
argument of invalid type is passed.
25+
26+
Only CRuby is affected. JRuby is not affected.
27+
28+
## Severity
29+
30+
The Nokogiri maintainers have evaluated this as low severity.
31+
This is only triggered by a programming error. It requires application
32+
code to call the protected internal initialize_copy_with_args method
33+
with an argument that is not a Nokogiri::XML::Node.
34+
Nokogiri 1.19.4 now raises TypeError instead of reading out of bounds.
35+
It cannot be triggered by untrusted input or through normal use of
36+
the public API.
37+
38+
## Mitigation
39+
40+
Upgrade to Nokogiri 1.19.4 or later. There is no workaround.
41+
