I hate to intrude on the conversation, but what is FreeBSD's official response to this? Posturing and full-disclosure debates aside, I'm inclined to take Theo's warning at face value. I know better than to expect my commercial UNIX vendor to act swiftly, but I've come to expect more from the FreeBSD project. If FreeBSD is going to wait until after the exploits are published, please let us know now so I can plan appropriately.
