NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rubygem-io-console package and not the rubygem-io-console package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

RubyGems 2.0.x before 2.0.16, 2.2.x before 2.2.4, and 2.4.x before 2.4.7 does not validate the hostname when fetching gems or making API requests, which allows remote attackers to redirect requests to arbitrary domains via a crafted DNS SRV record, aka a "DNS hijack attack."
