The new audit-packages package is quite nice, and thanks for the work
that went into it. I run it, and it tells me:
Package pine-4.21 has a denial-of-service vulnerability,
see http://www.securityfocus.com/advisories/2646
Yes, but pine-4.21 is the current version of pine. Maybe you can put
a note in the NetBSD vulnerability list explaining either (a) where
in pkgsrc to get the update or (b) don't bother to look, it hasn't
been fixed yet.
