 It is recommended that you check this page regularly.

+Additionally, you should set
+.Dq fetch_pkg_vulnerabilities=YES
+in
+.Pa /etc/daily.conf
+to allow your system to automatically update the local database of known
+vulnerable packages to the latest version available on-line.
+The system will later check, on a daily basis, if any of your installed

+.Xr daily.conf 5
