RubyGems DNS Hijack Vulnerability

CVE-2015-3900 · MEDIUM Severity

AV:N/AC:L/AU:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

RubyGems 2.0.x before 2.0.16, 2.2.x before 2.2.4, and 2.4.x before 2.4.7 does not validate the hostname when fetching gems or making API requests, which allows remote attackers to redirect requests to arbitrary domains via a crafted DNS SRV record, aka a "DNS hijack attack."
