    Package        : rubygems
    Version        : 3.2.5-2+deb11u1
    CVE ID         : CVE-2021-43809 CVE-2023-28755 CVE-2025-27221

    Multiple vulnerabilities were found in rubygems, which contains a package
    management framework for Ruby and a dependency manager for Ruby applications.

    CVE-2021-43809

        In bundler versions before 2.2.33, when working with untrusted and
        apparently harmless `Gemfile`'s, it is not expected that they lead to
        execution of external code, unless that's explicit in the ruby code inside
        the `Gemfile` itself. However, if the `Gemfile` includes `gem` entries that
        use the `git` option with invalid, but seemingly harmless, values with a
        leading dash, this can be false. To handle dependencies that come from a
        Git repository instead of a registry, Bundler uses various commands, such
        as `git clone`.  These commands are being constructed using user input
        (e.g.  the repository URL). When building the commands, Bundler versions
        before 2.2.33 correctly avoid Command Injection vulnerabilities by passing
        an array of arguments instead of a command string.  However, there is the
        possibility that a user input starts with a dash (`-`) and is therefore
        treated as an optional argument instead of a positional one.  This can lead
        to Code Execution because some of the commands have options that can be
        leveraged to run arbitrary executables.

    CVE-2023-28755

        A ReDoS issue was discovered in the URI component through 0.12.0 in Ruby
        through 3.2.1. The URI parser mishandles invalid URLs that have specific
        characters. It causes an increase in execution time for parsing strings to
        URI objects.

    CVE-2025-27221

        The URI handling methods (URI.join, URI#merge, URI#+) have an inadvertent
        leakage of authentication credentials because userinfo is retained even
        after changing the host.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    3.2.5-2+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your rubygems packages.
