Aliases:
CVE-2019-8325
GHSA-4wm8-fjv7-j774
Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer An issue was discovered in RubyGems. Since `Gem::CommandManager#run` calls alert_error without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible. (There are many ways to cause an error.)
2.7.9
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.2
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.3
Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.

Aliases:
CVE-2019-8322
GHSA-mh37-8c3g-3fgc
Injection Vulnerability An issue was discovered in RubyGems. The gem owner command outputs the contents of the API response directly to stdout. Therefore, if the response is crafted, escape sequence injection may occur.
2.7.9
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.2
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.3
Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-jkwe-c323-3yez
Aliases:
CVE-2019-8321
GHSA-fr32-gr5c-xq5c
Argument Injection or Modification An issue was discovered in RubyGems. Since `Gem::UserInteraction#verbose` calls say without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible.
2.7.9
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.2
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.3

Aliases:
CVE-2019-8323
GHSA-3h4r-pjv6-cph9
Injection Vulnerability An issue was discovered in RubyGems. `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.
2.7.9
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.2
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.3
Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-t78a-dw4s-vqf5
Aliases:
CVE-2019-8320
GHSA-5x32-c9mf-49cc
Path Traversal A Directory Traversal issue was discovered in RubyGems. Before making new directories or touching files (which now include path-checking code for symlinks), it would delete the target destination. If that destination was hidden behind a symlink, a malicious gem could delete arbitrary files on the user's machine, presuming the attacker could guess at paths. Given how frequently gem is run as sudo, and how predictable paths are on modern systems (`/tmp`, `/usr`, etc.), this could likely lead to data loss or an unusable system.
2.7.9
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.3
Affected by 0 other vulnerabilities.
VCID-xgmc-a5rk-zqag
Aliases:
CVE-2019-8324
GHSA-76wm-422q-92mq
Improper Input Validation A crafted gem with a multi-line name is not handled correctly. Therefore, an attacker could inject arbitrary code to the stub line of gemspec, which is evaluated by `ensure_loadable_spec` during the pre-installation check.
2.7.9
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.2
Affected by 6 other vulnerabilities.
3.0.3
