How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 rh-ruby22-rubygem-test-unit.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rh-ruby22-rubygem-test-unit package and not the rh-ruby22-rubygem-test-unit package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

The openssl gem for Ruby uses the same initialization vector (IV) in GCM Mode (aes-*-gcm) when the IV is set before the key, which makes it easier for context-dependent attackers to bypass the encryption protection mechanism.
