curl-7.76.1 has multiple vulnerabilites

[chandoo]

Hi
I ran pkg audit i see curl has multiple vulnerabilities, i dont see any latest updates for curl packages other than reported in the repo.
I would also suggest we need to have a category for Vulnerabilities .

######## output
pkg audit
curl-7.76.1 is vulnerable:

@chandoo While a vulnerability section might not be a bad idea.

Such tools can be misleading sometimes. Did you look at those listed?

"When libcurl is built to use the macOS native TLS library Secure Transport"
"CURLOPT_TELNETOPTIONSin libcurl"

etc.. - I don't see on any of those would be issue with pfsense running on freebsd..

So when exactly would curl on pfsense be doing this for example

"When sending data to an MQTT server"

"redis -- Integer overflow issues with BITFIELD command on 32-bit systems"
How is that applicable?

If you were going to update every single package every time any sort of issue is found, all you would be doing is running updates.. Unless the issue is applicable to how pfsense is used, it really shouldn't be a concern..

I am all for keeping up with what is out there, and what could be issues - but it can get out of hand really quickly if every little alert is some sort of fire drill for how the sky is falling..

Pfsense and the Netgate team should be keeping abreast of issues that could effect pfsense install base. And taking the appropriate actions - if you do not trust them to do their jobs, why are you running their software?

Are you following up with the 2400 some plus CVEs currently out for windows 10? And following up with MS to what they are doing about them? ;)

What is funny to me is how on one hand you have users worried about some odd cve report for a package and use case that I just do not see how its an issue.. And then you have others running 2.3 still of pfsense ;)
