NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ruby:2.5/rubygem-net-telnet package and not the ruby:2.5/rubygem-net-telnet package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. Gem::GemcutterUtilities#with_response may output the API response to stdout as it is. Therefore, if the API side modifies the response, escape sequence injection may occur.
