From the link:

% Affects:
%     *  ruby >=1.8.* <1.8.5_4,1
%     *  ruby_static >=1.8.* <1.8.5_4,1

The latest version of ruby in ports is 1.8.5_4,1 which is not affected[1].

Hmmm... not sure about this one, but if I'm reading CVE-2006-3694[2]
right ruby 1.8.5 is not affected. portaudit is not complaining, too.

HTH,

Karol
