The only options are the obvious ones:

 1) Override the vulnerability warning and install anyway.
 2) Wait for somebody else to commit a non-vulnerable port.
 3) Create a non-vulnerable port yourself.

Updating the Linux emulation can be tricky, because you never know when
a new version of a program will start using a Linux kernel feature that
we don't emulate. I'm not up-to-date on future directions of the
Linuxulator; there are several linux-base sets these days.
