pkg 1.2.5

>Description:

pkg audit reports many vulnerabilities which are
configuration-dependent.  It would be nice to have a local override
file to silence warnings about vulnerabilities that the administrator
has determined to be inapplicable or has applied a workaround for.

>How-To-Repeat:

Run pkg audit on a 9.x system with openssh-portable-6.2.p2_5,1
installed.  The vulnerability only applies when AES-GCM is in use,
which the OpenSSL on 9.x does not support.

>Fix:

Probably add a new data file to read with a list of vuln IDs to
acknowledge, and an option flag to pkg audit to show all vulns
including those that were silenced.
