    Package        : ruby2.5     Version        : 2.5.5-3+deb10u5     CVE IDs        : CVE-2023-28755 CVE-2023-28756

    Two regular expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) issues were     discovered in Ruby: the first in the URI component, and the second     in the Time module. Each of these issues could have resulted in a     dramatic increase in execution time given malicious input.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     2.5.5-3+deb10u5.

    We recommend that you upgrade your ruby2.5 packages.

    For the detailed security status of ruby2.5 please refer to     its security tracker page at:
