pkg audit disagrees with pkg upgrade ???

I'm checking to see if I need to upgrade any installed packages. pkg audit
-F says I have three vulnerabilities, but when I run pkg upgrade -y, it
thinks everything is O.K. (see below)

Why the discrepancy? Which one should I believe?


fbsd_box# pkg audit -F
