New site tracks CVEs affecting FreeBSD Ports

A FreeBSD developer has launched a website that shows which known CVEs affect packages in the FreeBSD Ports collection, and whether a fix or a VuXML entry already exists. The site, portstatus.bsdproject.de, matches NVD and CNA data against packages and the VuXML database behind pkg audit every hour. FreeBSD users and security watchers are sharing the tool as a useful way to check vulnerability status of ports at a glance.

Why now: The developer announced the launch of a free tool that gives the FreeBSD community hourly visibility into CVEs affecting ports.
