Description Pedro Sampaio 2017-10-10 17:54:02 UTC
RubyGems version 2.0.0 to 2.6.13 is vulnerable to an unsafe object deserialization through a specially crafted YAML formatted gem specification that could lead to a remote code execution when parsed without safegards. Applications that process Gems on the server are impacted but not if rubygems is only used as a client.
