3) To update your system via a source code patch:
The following patches have been verified to apply to the applicable
FreeBSD release branches.
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
# fetch
https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-16:09/freebsd-update.patch
# fetch
https://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/EN-16:09/freebsd-update.patch.asc
# gpg --verify freebsd-update.patch.asc
b) Apply the patch. Execute the following commands as root:
# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch
c) Recompile the operating system using buildworld and installworld as
described in <URL:https://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/makeworld.html>.
[...]
Do we really need to recompile the world after applying this patch? %-\
It's only one-letter diff in sh-file...
This is the formal procedure. A lawyer would say: you can shortcut it at
your own risk. A practical computer user can just put the character in the
sh-file.
Easy thing of the recompile is that the version of your FreeBSD install is
updated also.
