As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the FreeBSD ports system, we periodically notify users about ports that are marked as "forbidden" in their Makefiles. Often, these ports are so marked due to security concerns, such as known exploits. An overview of each port, including errors seen on the build farm, is included below. portname: databases/gnats forbidden because: Security issues build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=databases&portname=gnats portname: misc/compat3x forbidden because: FreeBSD-SA-03:05.xdr, FreeBSD-SA-03:08.realpath - not fixed / no lib available build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=misc&portname=compat3x portname: www/firefox forbidden because: too many security issues http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/922d2398-9e2d-11de-a998-0030843d3802.html http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/49e8f2ee-8147-11de-a994-0030843d3802.html build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=firefox portname: www/linux-firefox-devel forbidden because: Security issues http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/f29fea8f-b19f-11dd-a55e-00163e000016.html build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=linux-firefox-devel portname: www/neon26 forbidden because: see CVE-2009-2474 please use neon28 or neon29 instead build errors: none. overview: http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=neon26
