Sometimes a security advisory or errata notice affects only the userland =
and doesn't cause the kernel version to be bumped.  The "uname" output =
you're seeing is only the kernel version.  If you want to see both =
kernel and userland versions you should use "freebsd-version".  The "-k" =
flag will show userland and "-u" the userland.  I would imagine in your =
case "freebsd-version -u" is 12.4-RELEASE-p8.

Cheers,

Paul.
