(Sent to -questions@ on Oct 3 but hadn't got any reply, so sending to @ports now. Also, situation below is before www/firefox was updated to 41.0.)
I want to know if running "pkg audit" makes any sense for a port installed that has not been updated officially yet. Also, is it possible to supplement the vuxml catalog for such ports installed? Firefox 39 or 40 had been installed from ports. I got tired of seeing package being vulnerable on every ports tree update process that rebuilds "security/vuxml". As the "www/firefox" port has not been updated yet, so I fetched source of firefox 41.0.1; updated distinfo; installed (after rebuilding databases/sqlite3 with DBSTAT option & moving out "files/patch-bug702179" out of "files"). Now I see vulnerability warnings going back to 2004, which are just useless & rather amusing. At least the installed firefox is not vulnerable any more (yet). Apparently per pkg-version # pkg version -t 41.0.1 41.0,1 < ... & ... https://vuxml.freebsd.org/freebsd/2d56c7f4-b354-428f-8f48-38150c607a05.html ... 41.0.1 is still vulnerable. But according to ... https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox/ ... there are no outstanding vulnerabilities. Now I am confused. -- _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
