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?
