NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby package and not the ruby package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.12 relevant fixed versions and status.

The decode method in the OpenSSL::ASN1 module in Ruby before 2.2.8, 2.3.x before 2.3.5, and 2.4.x through 2.4.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (interpreter crash) via a crafted string.
