Description Pedro Sampaio 2019-03-25 19:07:18 UTC 
An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. Since Gem::CommandManager#run calls alert_error without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible. (There are many ways to cause an error.)

Comment 1 Pedro Sampaio 2019-03-25 19:15:07 UTC 
Created rubygems tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1692530]
Comment 2 Scott Gayou 2019-04-03 22:27:16 UTC 
Flaws are from lib/rubygems/command_manager.rb in the changeset.

As an example:

```
    alert_error "While executing gem ... (#{ex.class})\n    #{ex}"
```

to

```
    alert_error clean_text("While executing gem ... (#{ex.class})\n    #{ex}")
```
