Your observations are correct, of course, and the maintainers keep close watch on such developments. Security patches are made available, and can be found on the websites. The most reliable day-to-day source of exploit reports is the Bugtraq mailing list, a carefully moderated "full-disclosure" list. Very little escapes the scrutiny of that list. It is available as a digest. freebsd-security is the "in house" forum for discussion of these issues. The "root kits" and so on from rootshell are useful to the admin for probing his own system.
