>Description:
Hi guys,

I was just testing portaudit on FreeBSD 6.2.

I have mod_jk-1.2.19,1 installed.

a portaudit -Fda does not show it's vulnerable to anything.

However - it really is, and it's in the vulndb as well.

If I rename mod_jk-1.2.19,1 to mod_jk-1.2.19 a portaudit -Fda (or just -a)
says it's vulnerable.

So the conclusion is that portaudit's "version number" matching doesn't
seem to handle ,'s all that well.
>How-To-Repeat:
rename mod_jk to mod_jk-1.2.19,1 and see it NOT work.
