:: This advisory seems to indicate a problem with 4.2-RELEASE.
::
:: Can anyone shed any light on whether or not this is the case, and what if
:: any action I could take for a 4.2-RELEASE system?
The answer to your first question is right in the advisory:
Affects: All released versions of FreeBSD 4.x prior to 4.5-RELEASE.
FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE prior to the correction date.
That would include 4.2-RELEASE.
The answer to your second question can be found on the FreeBSD website.
According to http://www.freebsd.org/security/#adv, your version of FreeBSD
isn't supported by the Security Team anymore so you should probably
upgrade. However, that's not to say that you can't find someone else who
is willing to backport the patch for you.
Cheers - Erick
