Dear FreeBSD port maintainer:

As part of an ongoing effort to reduce the number of problems in the FreeBSD ports system, we periodically notify users about ports that are marked as "forbidden" in their Makefiles. Often, these ports are so marked due to security concerns, such as known exploits.

An overview of each port, including errors seen on the build farm, is included below.

portname: graphics/linux-tiff forbidden because: Vulnerable since 2004-10-13, http://portaudit.freebsd.org/8816bf3a-7929-11df-bcce-0018f3e2eb82.html build errors: none. overview:
http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=graphics&portname=linux-tiff

portname: www/linux-f10-flashplugin10 forbidden because: insecure version - use flashplugin11 build errors: none. overview:
http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=www&portname=linux-f10-flashplugin10

portname: x11-toolkits/linux-pango forbidden because: Vulnerable since 2009-05-13, http://portaudit.freebsd.org/4b172278-3f46-11de-becb-001cc0377035.html build errors: none. overview:
http://portsmon.FreeBSD.org/portoverview.py?category=x11-toolkits&portname=linux-pango

If this problem is one that you are already aware of, please accept our apologies and ignore this message. On the other hand, if you no longer wish to maintain this port (or ports), please reply with a message stating that, and accept our thanks for your efforts in the past.

Thanks for your efforts to help improve FreeBSD.
