What happened to querying CVE database using CPE strings? ENOTIME is a
common disease in volunteer projects, ports-secteam@ is no exception.
Finding missing entries is trivial if one looks at Debian tracker.
Let's pick something popular e.g., tiff-4.0.8 has 6 CVEs none of which
are fixed in the port.
