It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain regular expressions. An attacker could use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2019-16201)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain HTTP headers. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-16254)

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain inputs. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-16255).
