>Description:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD-4.0/i386/All/cups-1.2.12.tgz  was not moved to the vulnerable/ section, yet pkg-audit caught:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-4351

Is there a cron event in place to automatically move such packages out of the main tree?

It also might be nice in the future for pkg_add to support check of vulnerable packages like pkgsrc does, but this could be the subject of another PR or project.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
A script ran via a cron event might be a good solution
