Folks, I was notified by the members of the local FreeBSD community (we have a very strong presence of FreeBSD in ISP circles here) that seemingly 4.3 security branch isn't supported anymore, even though there was no official announcement about decommissioning. Particularly, exec() stdio security vulnerability (rev.1.137 src/sys/kern/kern_descrip.c, rev.1.162 src/sys/kern/kern_exec.c and rev.1.41 src/sys/sys/filedesc.h) was MFC'ed to 4.5 and 4.4, but not to 4.3. Nedless to say that they are very disappointed by that fact, because 4.3 is not that outdated and still used just fine on production machines. Could someone clarify the situation, and correct it if it was just a mistake.
