A couple of security issues were discovered in ruby2.5, the Ruby
interpreter, and are as follows -

CVE-2021-33621

Hiroshi Tokumaru discovered that Ruby did not properly handle
certain user input for applications the generate HTTP responses
using cgi gem. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
maliciously modify the response a user would receive from a
vulnerable application.

CVE-2022-28739

It was discovered that Ruby incorrectly handled certain inputs.
An attacker could possibly use this issue to expose sensitive
information.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed, along with the
regressions caused by the last Ruby update, in version 2.5.5-3+deb10u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your ruby2.5 packages.
