Hello,
Dan Goodin, a reporter at technology news website The Register.
Security
researcher Przemyslaw Frasunek says versions 6.x through 6.4 of
FreeBSD
has a security bug. He says he notified the FreeBSD Foundation on
August
29 and never got a response. We'll be writing a brief article about
this. Please let me know ASAP if someone cares to comment.
Kind regards,

Hasn't 6.x been End Of Lifed? I mean considering that 8.0 is expected
to be released either later this month or early next, and 6.x will be
officially retired at that time, is it possible that this was
overlooked? Personally I don't think it's ever good to overlook
security, especially in the case of a root exploit.
