The patch branch (currently RELENG_4_3) should be introduced, perhaps 
mentioned here, in the paragraph I quote below.

 From the update:

'Tracking FreeBSD-STABLE also gives you easy access to security fixes for 
FreeBSD as they are released. However, you do not need to track 
FreeBSD-STABLE to do this, as every security advisory for FreeBSD explains 
how to fix the problem for the releases it affects.'
