Let's update the titles and descriptions for all of these to be aligned to the official CVE descriptions. These are not detailed enough based on our standards.

Use info from https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-0899 for this one, as an example.

  RubyGems version 2.6.12 and earlier is vulnerable to maliciously crafted gem specifications that include terminal escape characters. Printing the gem specification would execute terminal escape sequences.

The title and description are two different things. Title should be pretty short, while description is where most of the information will go. See https://github.com/rubysec/ruby-advisory-db#format for an example.

For this one, perhaps "RubyGems Improper Neutralization of Escape Sequence" as title?

Also, please break the description on 80 chars and continue on next line.

Title should be pretty short, and different from description is OK.
But I want to use announced sentence like An ANSI escape sequence vulnerability., First sentence, ... This is because everyone can find easily.

Also, please break the description on 80 chars and continue on next line.

OK, I'll fix.

Chiming in a little late here, but you should simply use the title from the original advisory. Description is often the first paragraph or a brief summary of the advisory.
