On 19-FEB I saw in the daily logs:

Checking for packages with security vulnerabilities:
Database fetched: Mon Feb 18 03:02:54 GMT 2013
ruby-1.8.7.371,1 is vulnerable:
Ruby -- XSS exploit of RDoc documentation generated by rdoc

WWW: http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/d3e96508-056b-4259-88ad-50dc8d1978a6.html

ruby-1.8.7.371,1 is vulnerable:
Ruby -- Denial of Service and Unsafe Object Creation Vulnerability in JSON

WWW: http://portaudit.FreeBSD.org/c79eb109-a754-45d7-b552-a42099eb2265.html


But there is nothing in UPDATING, and now this
warning has gone, while the port has not been updated:

$ pkg version -vX ruby
ruby-1.8.7.371,1                   =   up-to-date with port

So is this port vulnerable or not?
If yet, should I switch to lang/ruby19?
If not, was this some false positive,
corrected later?

Thanks

Anton
