<URL:http://www.FreeBSD.org/security/>; page is great for the FreeBSD
users to get security information.  However, it seems that it lacks 
some 4.5-RELEASE related information.
.
1) Put a mark that 4.5-RELEASE was out

In the list of SAs, there are marks that "FreeBSD 4.x-RELEASE released."
It would be better to add a new mark for 4.5-RELEASE.  Here is a
patch:

I have no idea that 02:09 is *after* 4.5-RELEASE or not (it was
announced after 4.5-RELEASE, but 4.5-RELEASE does *not* affected).

2) Note that 4.5-RELEASE is a target release for SAs.

In this webpage, there is a pharase that:

	At this time, security advisories are being released for:
	  FreeBSD 3.5.1-STABLE (remotely exploitable vulnerabilities only)
	  FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE
	  FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE
	  FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE

Yes, "4.5-RELEASE" is not mentioned.  Would you please add 4.5-RELEASE
to the list?

And, 02:13 doesn't say anything about 4.3-RELEASE.  RELENG_4_3 was not
changed about OpenSSH.  This means that 4.3-RELEASE is not *fully*
supported release (read: remotely exploitable vulnerabilities only),
just like 3-stable ?

Thanks in advance,
