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.
Ruby before 2.4.3 allows Net::FTP command injection. Net::FTP#get, getbinaryfile, gettextfile, put, putbinaryfile, and puttextfile use Kernel#open to open a local file. If the localfile argument starts with the "|" pipe character, the command following the pipe character is executed. The default value of localfile is File.basename(remotefile), so malicious FTP servers could cause arbitrary command execution.
