About the vulnerabilities in tcpdump and gzip.

Dear list,

About a week ago, right after 5.4-RELEASE was released, I received a
mail from Gentoo Linux's security announcement list about a flaw in
tcpdump and gzip. Since none of them are operating system related, I
assumed a -p1 and -p2 of the 5.4-RELEASE. Instead, we got a patch for
the HTT security issue so I wonder, is the FreeBSD version of tcpdump
and/or gzip are secured or simply forgotten/ignored?
