    security/vuxml: Mark zeek < 4.0.4 as vulnerable as per:
    
        https://github.com/zeek/zeek/releases/tag/v4.0.4
    
     - Paths from log stream make it into system() unchecked, potentially
       leading to commands being run on the system unintentionally.
       This requires either bad scripting or a malicious package to be
       installed, and is considered low severity.
    
     - Fix potential unbounded state growth in the PIA analyzer when
       receiving a connection with either a large number of zero-length
       packets, or one which continues ack-ing unseen segments. It is
       possible to run Zeek out of memory in these instances and cause
       it to crash. Due to the possibility of this happening with packets
       received from the network, this is a potential DoS vulnerability.
