Thanks to Chrome{,ium} a recently discovered SQLite exploit has been all
over the news for a week now.  It is patched on all Linux platforms but
has not yet shown up in FreeBSD's vulxml database.  Does this mean:

  A) FreeBSD versions prior to 3.26.0 are not vulnerable, or

  B) the ports-secteam is not able to properly maintain the vulnerability
  database?

If the latter perhaps someone from the security team could let us know
how such a significant vulnerability could go unflagged for so long and,
more importantly, what might be done to address the gap in reporting?
