Ow! :-(

Thanks for reporting this!

You know though, for ones this bad I'd really rather you sent the
message to security-officer@freebsd.org rather than freebsd-security
in the future.  There are easily over 1000 people on this list and you
just announced a cookbook method for any shell account user to go root
on a FreeBSD based ISP box; hardly the kind of information one would
want to see widely circulated without a prepared fix, at the
least. :-(
