Attempting to build dns/libidn2 in 2019Q4 results in this error:


libidn2-2.2.0 is vulnerable:
libidn2 -- roundtrip check vulnerability
CVE: CVE-2019-12290
WWW: https://vuxml.FreeBSD.org/freebsd/f04f840d-0840-11ea-8d66-75d3253ef913.html


The cited link says "libidn2 before 2.2.0", as does the CVE.  Is 2.2.0 actually vulnerable?  Either the vulnerability database needs to be fixed, or version 2.3.0 should be ported from head.

Thanks.
