similar to: ports/84312: security/portaudit doesn't report about all security bugs

Any reason why portaudit and its associated infrastructure was not announced to this list or security-notifications? I recently discovered it, and discovered the feature was added to bsd.port.mk in the beginning of feburary. Seeing as the security officer apparently (without announcement) no longer issues security notices (SNs) for ports, I am assuming that portaudit has replaced SNs entirely,

December 18, 2007 Dear Madam, dear Sir, the portaudit database is very small: >portaudit -F auditfile.tbz 100% of 5688 B 9737 Bps New database installed. > In addition, portaudit does not complain about what it did complain a few days ago. It seems to me that the database is truncated. By the way: How do I post to a mailing list without being later spammed by the

Hi, FYI, Red Hat released an advisory today about a vulnerability in Ruby. So far it doesn't appear in the VuXML, but am I correct in presuming it will soon? https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2006-0604.html http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-3694 cheers, -- Joel Hatton -- Infrastructure Manager | Hotline: +61 7 3365 4417 AusCERT - Australia's national

Hello, The current png-1.2.5_4 port has no more vulnerability. It has been corrected by ache@FreeBSD.org yesterday. But when i try to install the updated port to remplace the vulnerable one this is what i am told : # make install ===> png-1.2.5_4 has known vulnerabilities: >> libpng denial-of-service. Reference:

Dear porters and port users, I've added a new port security/portaudit-db that complements security/portaudit for users that have a current ports tree and want to generate the portaudit database themselves, possibly distributing it over their local network. This will save you the traffic downloading information that is already on your local machine and avoid the lag that is currently

Hello, One of my machines I got a report about 3 vulnerable packages (php4, ruby, openssl) in tomorrows security run output, but in today's security run output all of them disappeared, but nobody upgraded or removed the affected packages. I reinstalled portaudit, refreshd its database, but now it reports 0 affected pakages. The pkg_info command lists that three packages, so they are

Hello! Yesterday portaudit notified me about squid's vulnerability, but today it didn't (despite I haven't upgraded squid). This has attracted my attention, so I've compared yesterday's and today's auditfile.tbz: -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 29875 Sep 6 15:40 auditfile.tbz vs. -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 5685 Sep 7 10:11 auditfile.tbz I don't see commits to

Why wasn't there a FreeBSD security alert for Kerberos 5? Does FreeBSD use the MIT implementation? I got an email from CERT about this.

Colin, good day! Spotted two patches for x11-servers/xorg-server port: see entries for x11r6.9.0-dbe-render.diff and x11r6.9.0-cidfonts.diff at http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/X11R6.9.0/patches/index.html Seems like they are not applied to the xorg-server-6.9.0_5. May be it should be added to the VuXML document? There is a ports/107733 issue that incorporates these patches. May be you

CVSup is slow, insecure, and a memory hog. However, until now it's been the only option for keeping an up-to-date ports tree, and (thanks to all of the recent work on vuxml and portaudit) it has become quite obvious that keeping an up-to-date ports tree is very important. To provide a secure, lightweight, and fast alternative to CVSup, I've written portsnap. As the name suggests, this

Dear members, It may sound a silly question.

Hello All, I'd like to bring to your attention the Vulnerabilities and eXposures Markup Language (VuXML) and associated resources.

I just drudged through a bit of the archives and see a FreeBSD bits floating in there that are of some value, but aren''t on the wiki.
