I found the issue and it is related to 'therubyracer' lib
There is a bug with the use of vector out of bounds.
to this line:
return &vector[0];
on file: ext/v8/rr.h#L223
error:
[vns@betito perseus]$ rails s
/usr/include/c++/8/bits/stl_vector.h:932: std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::reference std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::operator[](std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::size_type) [with _Tp = v8::Handle<v8::Value>; _Alloc = std::allocator<v8::Handle<v8::Value> >; std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::reference = v8::Handle<v8::Value>&; std::vector<_Tp, _Alloc>::size_type = long unsigned int]: Assertion '__builtin_expect(__n < this->size(), true)' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
tested using:
Fedora 28
ruby 2.5.1
rails 5.2.0
libstdc++ 8.1.1
this issue do not happend with libstdc++ < 8.1.1
version 8.1 enable C++ standard library hardening with -D_GLIBCXX_ASSERTIONS. This turns on cheap range checks for C++ arrays, vectors, and strings.

This is a priority bug: The C++ standard library hardening may detect some invalid out-of-bounds access which have gone unnoticed before.
Compile all binaries with stack clash protection (-fstack-clash-protection). As a result, attempts to jump the stack guard (a requirement for stack clash attacks) will reliably result in a crash rather than giving the attacker control over stack/heap objects.

so now that the libstdc++ 8.1 is checking with assertions ON. Making this lib compatible with version >8.1 libstdc++
