Subject:   FreeBSD IPSec stack contains backdoors?

Hi folks,
Recently OpenBSD developer Gregory Perry disclosed information about
possible backdoors in OpenBSD IPSec stack (see
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.openbsd.tech/22557) In particular,
Gregory Perry, who has been working on a OpenBSD -ish implementation
of IPSec says a number of backdoors have been introduced into the
code.

As far as I am aware, FreeBSD contains considerable amount of code
ported from OpenBSD. The question is: was the FreeBSD's ipsec code
ported from OpenBSD's implementation? If so, what might be the impact
of this?

Thanks,
Victor Lyapunov.
