Yeah -- this vulnerability: https://vuxml.freebsd.org/freebsd/c17fe91d-4aa6-11e6-a7bd-14dae9d210b8.html has been in VuXML since 2016-07-15 but there's no indication of a 4.0.7 release from upstream yet. Given their approach to fixing the buffer overflow was to delete the offending gif2tiff application from the package, perhaps we could simply do the same until 4.0.7 comes out. Cheers, Matthew
