>Description:

On the page
http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/651996e0-fe07-11d9-8329-000e0c2e438a.html
reported that package apache+mod_ssl < 1.3.33+2.8.22_1 have security bug

Also in /var/db/portaudit/ presented line:
apache+mod_ssl<1.3.33+2.8.22_1|http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/651996e0-fe07-11d9-8329-000e0c2e438a.html|apache -- http request smuggling

But port /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl may install different packages:

apache+mod_ssl-1.3.33+2.8.22 or apache+mod_ssl+mod_deflate-1.3.33+2.8.22
or some other.

When I have installed apache+mod_ssl+mod_deflate-1.3.33+2.8.22 package
then portaudit does not report about security bug !!!

>How-To-Repeat:

Update ports to current state

cd /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl

Edit Makefile - remove PORTREVISION line
This turn this port
from current version apache+mod_ssl-1.3.33+2.8.22_1
to old version apache+mod_ssl-1.3.33+2.8.22

Try fetch apache+mod_ssl:

root at manticore# make fetch
===>  apache+mod_ssl-1.3.33+2.8.22 has known vulnerabilities:
=> apache -- http request smuggling.
   Reference: <http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/651996e0-fe07-11d9-8329-000e0c2e438a.html>
=> Please update your ports tree and try again.
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl.

portaudit worked for apache+mod_ssl

But try fetch apache+mod_ssl+mod_deflate:

root at manticore# make WITH_APACHE_MODDEFLATE=yes fetch

You may use the following build options:

....

Ups - portaudit permit you install version with security bug !!!

>Fix:

I see two ways:

1)
Add to portaudit all FLAVOURS ports of BASE port:

E.g. when bug in mod_apache+mod_ssl
also add mod_apache+mod_ssl+mod_deflate.

This need some work for dependencies.

2)
When checking security bugs in portaudit
we need get name of BASE port:
e.g. if we need checking mod_apache+mod_ssl+mod_deflate
then we get BASE port as mod_apache+mod_ssl
and check in portaudit this BASE port.
