>Description:

Samba version specification that is found in the old portaudit.xml file
inside ports-mgmt/portaudit-db/databases has improper entry that cathes
modern Samba port:
-----
$ pkg_version -T samba-3.2.4 'samba>=3.*<3.0.5,1' && echo Found!
Found!
-----

>How-To-Repeat:

Run the above command or do 'cd /usr/ports/net/samba32-devel;
make check-vulnerable', it should produce something like this:
-----
===>  samba-3.2.4 has known vulnerabilities:
=> Multiple Potential Buffer Overruns in Samba.
   Reference: <http://www.FreeBSD.org/ports/portaudit/2de14f7a-dad9-11d8-b59a-00061bc2ad93.html>
=> Please update your ports tree and try again.
*** Error code 1
-----

>Fix:

The following patch fixes the things, at least for me:

Very old portaudit.xml in ports-mgmt/portaudit-db/database has 4 years
old entry for samba that renders current port, net/samba32-devel to be
marked as vulnerable.  This happens due to the bad version specification
that spans over port epoches, thus caching samba32-devel that has no
portepoch:
-----
$ pkg_version -T samba-3.2.4 'samba>=3.*<3.0.5,1' && echo Found!
Found!
-----

Applied modification fixes the things,
-----
$ pkg_version -T samba-3.2.4 'samba>=3.*<3.0a20' && echo Found!
$ pkg_version -T samba-3.2.4 'samba>=3.0.0.b1,1<3.0.5,1' && echo Found!
-----
and seem to catch originally intended versions properly:
-----
$ pkg_version -T samba-3.0a19 'samba>=3.*<3.0a20' && echo Found!
Found!
$ pkg_version -T samba-3.0a19 'samba>=3.0.0.b1,1<3.0.5,1' && echo Found!
$ pkg_version -T samba-3.0.1,1 'samba>=3.0.0.b1,1<3.0.5,1' && echo Found!
Found!
$ pkg_version -T samba-3.0.1,1 'samba>=3.*<3.0a20' && echo Found!
-----

Samba revision history was traced by using CVS logs,
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/samba3/Makefile
Particularily, portepoch was bumped at the Makefile's version 1.92:
  http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/net/samba3/Makefile.diff?r1=1.91;r2=1.92

Note well: the added port specification will catch version 3.0.20,
for example,
-----
$ pkg_version -T samba-3.0.20 'samba>=3.*<3.0a20' && echo Found!
Found!
-----
but FreeBSD's 3.0.20 is be named '3.0.20,1', so we seem to be safe
here, since this particular specification will catch only 3.0.x:
-----
$ pkg_version -T samba-3.1.32 'samba>=3.*<3.0a20' && echo Found!
