PKG-AUDIT(8)	       DragonFly System Manager's Manual	  PKG-AUDIT(8)


NAME

     pkg audit -- audit installed packages against known vulnerabilities


SYNOPSIS

     pkg audit [-Fqr] [-f filename] pkg-name

     pkg audit [--{fetch,quiet,recursive}] [--file filename] pkg-name


DESCRIPTION

     pkg audit checks installed packages for known vulnerabilities and gener-
     ates reports including references to security advisories.	Its intended
     audience is system administrators and individual users.

     pkg audit uses a database maintained by port committers and the FreeBSD
     security team to check if security advisories for any installed packages
     exist.  Note that a current ports tree (or any local copy of the ports
     tree) is not required for operation.

     The URL that is used to fetch the database can be overridden via the VUL-
     NXML_SITE config variable.  See pkg.conf(5) for more information.

     If you have a vulnerable package installed, you are advised to update or
     deinstall it immediately.

     Supplying a pkg-name will audit only that package.


OPTIONS

     The following options are supported by pkg audit:

     -f filename, --file filename
	    Use filename as the local copy of the vulnerability database.  If
	    used in combination with -F download the vulnerability database to
	    the named filename before auditing installed ports against it.

     -F, --fetch
	    Fetch the database before checking.

     -q, --quiet
	    Be ``quiet''.  Prints only the requested information without dis-
	    playing many hints.

     -r, --recursive
	    Prints packages that depend on vulnerable packages and are thus
	    potentially vulnerable as well.

     The following environment variables affect the execution of pkg audit.
     See pkg.conf(5) for further description.
