            Bug ID: 231326
           Summary: security/openssl111 has default port options that are
                    unsafe
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: brnrd at freebsd.org

security/openssl111 has these default port options
====> Block Cipher Support
     ARIA=off: ARIA (South Korean standard)
     DES=on: (Triple) Data Encryption Standard
     GOST=on: GOST (Russian standard)
     IDEA=off: International Data Encryption Algorithm
     SM2=off: SM2 (Chinese standard)
     SM3=off: SM3 (Chinese standard)
     SM4=off: SM4 (Chinese standard)
     RC2=on: RC2 (unsafe)
     RC4=on: RC4 (unsafe)
     RC5=off: RC5 (patented)
====> Hash Function Support
     MD2=off: MD2 (obsolete)
     MD4=on: MD4 (unsafe)
     MDC2=off: MDC-2 (patented, requires DES)
     RMD160=on: RIPEMD-160

While one can debate if weak ciphers/hash functions should be enabled by
default. But I think there should be no discussion necessary if and why
_unsafe_ port options should be enabled by default.

Please review your work and act accordingly.
