The short answer would be what the hell difference does that make? The
OP just wanted to know if the port was going to be updated to include
the newly released patches. The long answer is that he is interested in
getting the official patches to correct known problems with Bash. Who's
business is it what problem, real or potential that the OP is looking
to correct or prevent?

Actually, the OP would be better served contacting the port maintainer
<obrien at FreeBSD.org>. Unlike Postfix that <sahil at FreeBSD.org> updates
in virtually real time, there is usually quite a lag between the time
Bash issues a patch and the time it makes it into the ports system.
