As it says: all FreeBSD releases are affected. Fixes have been
released for all supported versions of the OS, and detailed in the
advisory. It's possible that those fixes will be back-ported to older
versions, but you can't afford to assume so. Besides, you read the
comments about "New Technology Releases" and "suitable for early
adopters only" when you installed 5.1-RELEASE didn't you? Now that
5.2.1-RELEASE is out, you should probably upgrade.
Cheers,
Matthew
