Not really anything.

The PR looks simple enough, but when doing security updates I prefer
not to change anything else, unless I have to, since doing that
increases the risk of breaking something and therefor I would have to
do more extensive testing, which in turns means I have less time to
work on the security problems in other ports.

So, hopefully a ports committer will look at this PR after the freeze,
but I doubt I will.
