If you see a warning message saying "Vulnerability Database Out of Date, Checking Anyway" when running the pkg audit
command on a FreeBSD system, it means that the local vulnerability database is out of date and may not contain the latest vulnerabilities.
This warning message appears when the local vulnerability database has not been updated in a while and may not contain the latest vulnerabilities. It does not necessarily mean that your system is vulnerable, but it is a good idea to update the vulnerability database to make sure you have the latest information.
To update the vulnerability database, you can use the pkg update -f
command. This command will update the package repository and download the latest vulnerability database.
For example:
pkg update -f
After updating the vulnerability database, you can re-run the pkg audit
command to check for vulnerabilities.
