CWE-74  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Amazon-Linux:2 rubygems to version 0:2.0.14.1-35.amzn2.0.1 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALAS2-2019-1249.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rubygems package and not the rubygems package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.)
