How to fix?

There is no fixed version for ruby.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Covert Timing Channel through the decryption process. An attacker can decrypt messages or forge signatures by exchanging a large number of messages with the vulnerable service (Marvin Attack).

Workaround

This vulnerability can be mitigated by avoiding the use of methods with PKCS#1v1.5 padding in network contexts, ensuring that any calls perform OAEP decryption only, and not supporting PKCS#1v1.5 encryption padding.
