Sorry, my English seems to be so poor so you don't understand my very 
simple question. You are still answering other questions I didn't asked.

Last attempt. I will try ti make question as simple as possible. If it 
will not help I will become silent.

TLS 1.0 *protocol* is buggy, new protocol has been implemented in new 
version of OpenSSL, but such version will not be imported into FreeBSD 9 
because of ABI incompatibility. Instead old version of OpenSSL and 
vulnerable protocol is still used by base system libraries and 
utilities. So base system IS affected by known vulnerability.

Thus I'm asking.

If TLS 1.0 is considered severe security issue AND system utilities are 
using it, why there is no Security Advisory describing this system 
vulnerability ?
