NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby2.5 package and not the ruby2.5 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. Since Gem::UserInteraction#verbose calls say without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible.
