New ruby packages are available for Slackware 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, and -current
to fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/ruby-1.9.3_p429-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue in DL and Fiddle included in Ruby where
tainted strings can be used by system calls regardless of the $SAFE level
setting.
