If I'm the OP (original poster ?) I'm running GENERIC, and 'uname -a'
output has remained '8.2-RELEASE-p4' despite running 'freebsd-update
fetch', 'freebsd-update install', and then rebooting the system, over the
past couple of weeks.
I did download the source, ran 'freebsd-update fetch

I don't know
the kernel but you need to do make builkernel/make installkernel
before uname -a shows 8.2-RELEASE-p4.

freebsd-update will
So, I've run freebsd-update fetch/install a few times since I
posed my original question, but my system remains at
8.2-RELEASE-p3. Have I done all that I should to get word to
those that would be able to correct the problem? Is there
communication channel I should use to report this?

It touches the kernel but you need to do make builkernel/make installkernel
before uname -a shows 8.2-RELEASE-p4.

Do you anticipate the release of an fix/update that will allow
systems to be patched to -p4 or later via freebsd-update?

Now the updates for -p4 certainly should have touched the kernel, and
certainly should have resulted in an updated uname string[*]. There
should also be a note about -p4 in /usr/src/UPDATING. Starting to

All my machines are up to current patch level, but show

Specifically the 'Corrected:' section near the top. I think it's clear
that FreeBSD-SA-11:04.compress (Corrected in 8.2-RELEASE-p3) doesn't
involve anything in the kernel but FreeBSD-SA-11:05.unix (Corrected in
8.2-RELEASE-p4) is entirely within
