MGASA-2025-0290 - Updated ruby packages fix security vulnerabilities

Summary

Description: Net::IMAP vulnerable to possible DoS by memory exhaustion. (CVE-2025-25186) In the CGI gem before 0.4.2 for Ruby, the CGI::Cookie.parse method in the CGI library contains a potential Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability. The method does not impose any limit on the length of the raw cookie value it processes. This oversight can lead to excessive resource consumption when parsing extremely large cookies. (CVE-2025-27219) In the CGI gem before 0.4.2 for Ruby, a Regular Expression Denial of Service (ReDoS) vulnerability exists in the Util#escapeElement method. (CVE-2025-27220) In the URI gem before 1.0.3 for Ruby, the URI handling methods (URI.join, URI#merge, URI#+) have an inadvertent leakage of authentication credentials because userinfo is retained even after changing the host. (CVE-2025-27221)
