  As a few people have noted, this should read "FreeBSD 4.8 and 4.9"; this bug
never existed in earlier versions of FreeBSD.
  That said, FreeBSD 4.7 and earlier are no longer officially supported, and it
is highly recommended that people upgrade to a newer version, since there have
been recent security advisories concerning issues to which earlier releases are
still vulnerable.

or, as usual,

3) If you are running an affected release, you can use FreeBSD Update:
# cd /usr/ports/security/freebsd-update && make all install
# cp /usr/local/etc/freebsd-update.conf.sample /usr/local/etc/freebsd-update.conf
# /usr/local/sbin/freebsd-update fetch
# /usr/local/sbin/freebsd-update install

For more details, see http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update/ .

  Note that this is something I'm providing personally; it is in no way
endorsed by the Security Officer or the Project as a whole.
