Basically, if your sources, or the particular source file in question,
are not newer than correction date listed in the security alert then you
need to follow the directions to fix or workaround the problem.

Hello Nathan,

in a security advisory in part V. is written:

V.   Solution

Perform one of the following:

1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 4-STABLE or 5-STABLE, or to the
RELENG_5_3, RELENG_5_2, RELENG_4_10, or RELENG_4_8 security branch dated
after the correction date.


Can you say me how to get of a running system the date? Because if the
system is after the correction date I do not have to download via ftp. If
not I have to...



Do you have sources (/usr/src tree) on your system? Then do what nathan said -- look at the date in the source file for the thing the security advisory was about.


There are also various patch levels, though I am not sure where they are documented. That would show in the "uname -a" as for example "5.3-RELEASE-p5"
