This allows you to say, for instance: pkg audit FreeBSD-10.3_2 which will tell you about a number of security advisories which have come out since 10.3-RELEASE-p2. This is in anticipation of the base system being packaged, which is due to come in with 11.1-RELEASE. See Mark Felder's announcement on questions@: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2016-August/273034.= html As Mark says, this is not guaranteed to be either accurate or complete, but it should be helpful in managing system upgrades.
