How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 rubygem-websocket-driver.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rubygem-websocket-driver package and not the rubygem-websocket-driver package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

websocket-driver is a WebSocket protocol handler with pluggable I/O. Prior to 0.8.2, WebSocket::Driver.server() passes a malformed Host header to URI.parse in lib/websocket/http/request.rb without catching URI::InvalidURIError, allowing a remote client to crash a TCP-backed WebSocket server when the application does not catch the error from parse(). This issue is fixed in version 0.8.2.
