There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 ruby-doc.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby-doc package and not the ruby-doc package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL: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."
