PKG-AUDIT(8) BSD System Manager's Manual PKG-AUDIT(8) NAME pkg audit -- Audits installed packages against known vulnerabilities. SYNOPSIS pkg audit [-Fqc] pkg-name DESCRIPTION pkg audit checks installed packages for known vulnerabilities and gener- ates reports including references to security advisories. Its intended audience is system administrators and individual users. pkg audit uses a database maintained by port committers and the FreeBSD security team to check if security advisories for any installed packages exist. Note that a current ports tree (or any local copy of the ports tree) is not required for operation. The URL that is used to fetch the database can be overridden via the VUL- NXML_SITE config variable or by PORTAUDIT_SITE if you still use the com- pact audit file. See pkg.conf(5) for more information. If you have a vulnerable package installed, you are advised to update or deinstall it immediately. Supplying a pkg-name will audit only that package. OPTIONS The following options are supported by pkg audit: -F Fetch the database before checking. -q Be ``quiet''. Prints only the requested information without display- ing many hints. -c Use the prepared audit file instead of vunlxml. Database is fetched according to PORTAUDIT_SITE config variable. ENVIRONMENT The following environment variables affect the execution of pkg audit. See pkg.conf(5) for further description. PKG_DBDIR PORTAUDIT_SITE VULNXML_SITE FILES See pkg.conf(5).
