Ok

This is taken from FreeBSD-SA-02:23.stdio
(ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-02:23.stdio.asc)
===
V.   Solution

1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 4.5-STABLE; or to either of the
RELENG_4_5 (4.5-RELEASE-p4) or RELENG_4_4 (4.4-RELEASE-p11) security
branches dated after the respective correction dates.
==

As You saw, `4.4-RELEASE-p11' mentioned above...
