Good Morning! This was also posted to the FreeBSD forums: I have been researching CVE-2012-0217 and while I have patched the kernels on servers with 7.3/8.2 that I have, I would like to see if anyone knows for sure if 6.2/6.3 are also vulnerable? I am aware that those kernels are out of support from looking at the documentation. I have looked at the code in trap.c to see if the current patch would work with 6.3 source but it won't based on what I saw. I am also aware of upgrading as an option to resolve this unfortunately in some cases I have this is not possible right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I can of course test anything that might need it. Thanks!
