* Robert S [2005-05-21 13:29 -0000] > Are fixes not necessarily made available when security vulnerabilities > are found? No, fixes are not *necessarily* made available, although the most often are. As Kent pointed out, your specific problem should long be fixed. See the thread about portaudit and wget from just the other day, and you will realize that fixes are not necessarily being commited once a security flaw has been found. > Also -- is there a similar utility to portaudit and freebsd-update, > that can be used on the base operating system (not through ports)? Portaudit will report security issues with the base system as well, based on the kern.osreldate sysctl.
