>Description:

databases/couchdb is still version 1.2.0, and hasn't been updated
since a number of security issues were announced in January.  The
change list for version 1.2.1 notes:

 * Fixed CVE-2012-5649: Apache CouchDB JSONP arbitrary code execution with Adobe
   Flash
 * Fixed CVE-2012-5650: Apache CouchDB DOM based Cross-Site Scripting via Futon
   UI

These security issues are not reported by pkg audit, either.

The current recommended version is 1.2.2.

>How-To-Repeat:

portinstall couchdb

>Fix:

Upgrade to 1.2.2.  I'm looking now to see if it's non-trivial; haven't
tried it yet.
