Affected: Homebrew: mikutter

### Summary

Nokogiri v1.11.4 updates the vendored libxml2 from v2.9.10 to v2.9.12 which addresses:

- [CVE-2019-20388](https://security.archlinux.org/CVE-2019-20388) (Medium severity) - [CVE-2020-24977](https://security.archlinux.org/CVE-2020-24977) (Medium severity) - [CVE-2021-3517](https://security.archlinux.org/CVE-2021-3517) (Medium severity) - [CVE-2021-3518](https://security.archlinux.org/CVE-2021-3518) (Medium severity) - [CVE-2021-3537](https://security.archlinux.org/CVE-2021-3537) (Low severity) - [CVE-2021-3541](https://security.archlinux.org/CVE-2021-3541) (Low severity)

Please note that this advisory only applies to the CRuby implementation of Nokogiri `< 1.11.4`, and only if the packaged version of libxml2 is being used.
