"An update of the ruby package has been released.
- An issue was discovered in Ruby through 2.6.7, 2.7.x through 2.7.3, and 3.x through 3.0.1. A malicious FTP
server can use the PASV response to trick Net::FTP into connecting back to a given IP address and port.
This potentially makes curl extract information about services that are otherwise private and not
disclosed (e.g., the attacker can conduct port scans and service banner extractions). (CVE-2021-31810)
