Some of these CVE were already addressed in previous USN: 3439-1, 3553-1, 3528-1. Here we address for the remain releases.

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could use this to cause a buffer overrun. (CVE-2017-0898)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could use this to overwrite any file on the filesystem.
(CVE-2017-0901)

It was discovered that Ruby was vulnerable to a DNS hijacking vulnerability. An attacker could use this to possibly force the RubyGems client to download and install gems from a server that the attacker controls. (CVE-2017-0902)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain YAML files. An attacker could use this to possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2017-0903)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could use this to expose sensitive information.
(CVE-2017-14064)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-10784)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain network requests. An attacker could possibly use this to inject a crafted key into a HTTP response. (CVE-2017-17742)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this to execute arbitrary code. This update is only addressed to ruby2.0. (CVE-2018-1000074)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain network requests. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-8777).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
