Today security/vuxml/vuln.xml says:

    <affects>
      <package>
        <name>firefox</name>
        <name>linux-firefox</name>
        <range><lt>3.*,1</lt></range>
        <range><gt>3.*,1</gt><lt>3.0.13,1</lt></range>
        <range><gt>3.5.*,1</gt><lt>3.5.2,1</lt></range>
      </package>

1. Could someone tell me the meaning of the ``*'' values please ?
I can't see the logic of the range lines.

2. Yesterday I installed firefox quickly with ``pkg_add -r firefox3''
and got firefox-3.0.10,1.
Portaudit declares it vulnerable which seems to correspond
to the second range line.
I guess I have to compile firefox3 to be clean ?
