Forbidden ? Why ? anyone ...
Yes this one: just follow the link. (pretty obvious ;))
If you insist in installing the port, 'un' break it manually.

Purely out of curiosity.. when a possible exploit such as this is
discovered in a port and a patch is provided, why is it not patched
immediately? I understand that when a vulnerability is discovered it is
important to look for similar bugs in the file and also the entire port.
Is this what takes the time or is it purely a maintainer finding the
time to update it?
Again this is just out of curiosity and not related to this port in
particular.
