they openly list what versions of what components they use. you would have to 
reference the individual authors of said components to find their history of 
vulnerabilities.
 
as for the pfSense people, they have a habit of working and fixing issues with 
the core of pfSense pretty soon after you notify them of the issue. its not 
uncommon for the FIRST response to a problem report to be "try the snapshot in 
2 hours after the server does its scheduled rebuild" meaning they just 
incorporated a fix into the code. try and get THAT level of service from cisco.
