So am I to assume then that as of this week 5.1R is no longer > "officially supported"? Hmmm... Well, the official word on the subject should be the page at http://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html, and yes, that does imply that 5.1-R is a "supported security fix branch", but a quick check in CVS shows no patches have been applied to that branch. =20 There are some changes in the affected files in src/sys/netinet/ between RELENG_4_8, RELENG_4_9, RELENG_5_1 and RELENG_5_2, but the patch applied to 5.2 was quite similar to the one applied to 4.8 or 4.9, so I'd guess that the affected section of code is still there in the RELENG_5_1 sources. No idea if you can merge in the changes on the RELENG_5_2 branch to the RELENG_5_1 branch without modification though. You might want to ask on freebsd-security@ if 5.1-R is still a supported security fix branch.
