NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rubygems-devel package and not the rubygems-devel 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).
