CVE-2019-13224
Description
From CVE.org
A use-after-free in onig_new_deluxe() in regext.c in Oniguruma 6.9.2 allows attackers to potentially cause information disclosure, denial of service, or possibly code execution by providing a crafted regular expression. The attacker provides a pair of a regex pattern and a string, with a multi-byte encoding that gets handled by onig_new_deluxe(). Oniguruma issues often affect Ruby, as well as common optional libraries for PHP and Rust.
Statement
Ruby versions are not affected as they used Onigmo, which is a fork of Oniguruma, instead. The Onigmo library doesn't includes the source code containing the related bug.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
CVSS v3 Score Breakdown

Red Hat CVSS v3 Score Explanation
The pointer for the user-after-free situation is used for read only, thus is very unlikely a arbitrary code execution attack may be performed on that. There's Low Impact on Confidentiality and Integrity as this may expose data stored on task's heap.
