new openssl security advisory is dfly affected

OpenSSL is a dependency of x11-servers/xorg-server. As you noticed, two 
versions of OpenSSL are provided, the one in base and the one in dports. 
They are not necessarily at the same version or updated at the same time. 
You can specify which one to use by default for other dports, in 
/etc/make.conf, by specifying either:

WITH_OPENSSL_PORT=yes
or
WITH_OPENSSL_BASE=yes

If you choose the latter, the dports that depend on OpenSSL will link 
against the version in base rather than dports, thus you won't need 
security/openssl from dports.

Cheers,

Robin
