Yes, if you subscribe to the FreeBSD Security Notifications mailing list 
<http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security-notifications> 
you'll get email notifications when security parches are available. These give 
details of the background and impact of the vulnerability along with 
instructions of how to obtain and apply the patches.
