            Bug ID: 279891
           Summary: freebsd-update fetch does not use any TLS which is a
                    security risk
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: p5B2EA84B3@t-online.de

Fetching system components without any Transport Layer Security must be
considered as an exposure to mitm-risks.

Please be advised that multiple policies in professional environments were
rolled out that require TLS on ANY network connection.=20

This means that FreeBSD will fail passing security audits due to that probl=
em
where there is such requirements.
