Regarding the following vulnerabilities as detected by portaudit:

    Affected package: ruby-1.8.4_4,1
    Type of problem: ruby -- cgi.rb library Denial of Service.
    Reference:
    <http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/ab8dbe98-6be4-11db-ae91-0012f06707f0.html>

I see that ruby is only required by portupgrade.  Anyone know if there going to be a fix for this vulnerability any time soon? Anyone asked the ruby guys?
