As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the FreeBSD ports system, we periodically notify users about ports that are marked as "forbidden" in their Makefiles. Often, these ports are so marked due to security concerns, such as known exploits.
An overview of each port, including errors seen on the build farm, is included below. portname: graphics/linux-tiff forbidden because: Vulnerable since 2004-10-13, http://portaudit.freebsd.org/8816bf3a-7929-11df-bcce-0018f3e2eb82.html build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=linux-tiff portname: mail/squirreloutlook forbidden because: Based on a vulnerable version of mail/squirrelmail build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=squirreloutlook portname: mail/sympa5 forbidden because: Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Sympa archive management that allow to skip the scenario-based authorization mechanisms. http://www.sympa.org/security_advisories build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=mail&portname=sympa5 portname: www/linux-f10-flashplugin10 forbidden because: insecure version - use flashplugin11 build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=linux-f10-flashplugin10 portname: x11-toolkits/linux-pango forbidden because: Vulnerable since 2009-05-13, http://portaudit.freebsd.org/4b172278-3f46-11de-becb-001cc0377035.html build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=x11-toolkits&portname=linux-pango _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
