There is something *seriously* wrong with your system if a program run as
a nonprivileged user is able to overwrite files owned by root for which
root is the only user that has write permissions. Unless the Ruby
program in question, or your Ruby interpreter itself, has the suid bit
set, it seems the problem is with the system somehow, because this is a
clear violation of privilege separation. There is no way a mere bug in a
program run as a nonprivileged user should allow it to violate system
privilege separation.
