Others already mentioned you about the vulnerability found in v2.2.2. As
an addition, you might want to consider installing this:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/url.cgi?ports/security/portaudit/pkg-descr

It'll check and report on a daily basis any vulnerabilities found in
your currently installed ports.


Cheers,
Mikhail.
