+	   and <a href="https://spectreattack.com/">Spectre</a>; attacks:
+	   FreeBSD was made aware of the problems in late December 2017.
+	   We're working with CPU vendors and the published papers on
+	   these attacks to mitigate them on FreeBSD. Due to the
+	   fundamental nature of the attacks, no estimate is yet
+	   available for the publication date of patches.</p>
