SecurityFocus released information regarding vulnerabilities against
certain operating systems, FreeBSD had 18 vulnerabilities in the year of
1999. I dropped Elias an e-mail asking if ports were included, and his
response is below.  But after looking at statistcics for this year (2000),
I saw FreeBSD had 6, so far this year, they have been mainly ports
advisories, so I assume Elias's answer is a yes.  So far so good for
FreeBSD and security. :)

We count vulnerabilities associated with FreeBSD 3.4 or packages shipped
as part of FreeBSD 3.4.
