CWE-400  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 ruby-doc to version 0:2.4.9-93.el7cf or higher.
This issue was patched in RHBA-2019:4047.

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.

In Rubyzip before 1.3.0, a crafted ZIP file can bypass application checks on ZIP entry sizes because data about the uncompressed size can be spoofed. This allows attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption).
