Description
Ruby through 2.4.7, 2.5.x through 2.5.6, and 2.6.x through 2.6.4 allows HTTP Response Splitting. If a program using WEBrick inserts untrusted input into the response header, an attacker can exploit it to insert a newline character to split a header, and inject malicious content to deceive clients. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-17742, which addressed the CRLF vector, but did not address an isolated CR or an isolated LF.
ChocolateyRuby is a dynamic, open source programming language focusing on simplicity and productivity. It has an elegant syntax that is natural to read and easy to write.
This package provides a self-contained [Windows-based installer](https://rubyinstaller.org) that includes the Ruby language, an execution environment, important documentation, and more.
## Package Parameters
- `/InstallDir` - Ruby installation directory, by default `c:\tools\RubyXY` where XY are major and minor version parts.
- `/NoPath` - Do not add ruby bin folder to machine PATH.
Example: `choco install ruby --package-parameters="'/NoPath ""/InstallDir:C:\your\install\path""'"`
## Notes
- To install ruby development kit ruby installer provides `ridk` command. It provides an easy way to install msys2 via `ridk install 1`, however, the installation is interactive. To accomplish unattended install, use [msys2](https://chocolatey.org/packages/msys2) package.
