CVE-2019-8320

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: RubyGems versions 2.7.6 through 3.0.2

Description: A Directory Traversal issue was discovered in RubyGems. The issue allows a malicious gem to delete arbitrary files on the user's machine if the attacker can guess the paths, potentially leading to data loss or an unusable system. This is particularly concerning given how frequently the gem is run as sudo and the predictability of paths on modern systems.

Recommendations: For versions 2.7.6 through 3.0.2, update to a version later than 3.0.2 to resolve the issue. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
