Description

An issue was discovered in RubyGems 2.6 and later through 3.0.2. Since Gem::CommandManager#run calls alert_error without escaping, escape sequence injection is possible. (There are many ways to cause an error.)

Solution(s)

  • amazon-linux-upgrade--ruby21
  • amazon-linux-upgrade--ruby24
  • amazon-linux-upgrade-ruby20
