Mac OS X v10.5 (Leopard) introduced the concept of sparse-bundle disk images, where the data is stored as a collection of small, fixed-size band-files instead of as a single monolithic file. This allows for more efficient backups of the disk image, as only the changed bands need to be stored. One common source of sparse-bundles is Mac OS' backup utility, Time Machine, which stores the backup data within a sparse-bundle image on the chosen backup volume. This software package implements a FUSE virtual filesystem for read-only access to the sparse-bundle, as if it was a single monolithic image.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
