presumably due to a security vulnerability

No, this was down to a licensing issue (see mimemagicrb/mimemagic#97). Be aware that by switching to 0.3.6 you are now including GPL licensed code which may have a knock-on effect on the licensing of this repo.

@CristinaRO indeed this change, if kept, would force this project to be released under the GPL instead of MIT license. If that's not desirable, then follow along with the effort to release a 0.3.7 version of the gem that is back to the MIT license.
