Bug 212306: ports-mgmt/pkg patch to add ability to run pkg audit on base from
periodic
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212306



--- Description ---
Created attachment 174284
  --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=174284&action=edit
add 405.pkg-base-audit for periodic/security

As I posted to mailinglist
https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-security/2016-August/009049.html
VuXML allows to check base for vulnerabilities (thanks to Mark Felder) but
there are no functionality in base or pkg to check it by periodic scripts.

I wrote one called 405.pkg-base-audit. It is heavily based on original
410.pkg-audit. It can check chroots and jails too.

Standalone script can be found at
http://freebsd.quip.cz/script/405.base-audit.sh

I made a patch for ports-mgmt/pkg (we are using it on all our machines).
The patch is really simple just to add 405.pkg-base-audit to
ports-mgmt/pkg/files. I don't want to touch anything in source pkg tarball. 
It is just a proof of concept. 
I am not sure it is coded well and if it can be included in official
ports-mgmt/pkg or not.
