FreeBSD:PortAudit

The portaudit utility allows you to check your installed ports against a database of published security vulnerabilities. This database is maintained by the FreeBSD port administrators and the FreeBSD Security Team. If a security advisory exists for an installed port, a web link to the security advisory is provided for more information.

To install portaudit, enter:

# cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portaudit
# make install clean
# rehash


To check installed ports against the current portaudit database, enter:

# portaudit -Fda
