Portaudit data derives from vuxml -- your best bet here is to prod the
port's maintainer preferably by means of a PR.  Make it clear this is a
security fix.  The maintainer should supply a patch to vuln.xml as part
of the update to 5.1.3, or else the committer should add one.

Alternatively, and if you don't get a timely response from the
maintainer, bring up the issue on the freebsd-ports at .... mailing list,
which you've done.

	Cheers,
