That's a hard question to answer - it really depends on the exploit.
Most don't really require a firm knowledge of C to understand since
they come already written and you basically just need to compile and
run them.  You have to have enough advanced FreeBSD knowledge,
however, to distinguish an "exploit" from a DoS to a just-plain-bogus
report and only you know whether that's true in your case. :)
