You probably had trouble connecting the dots because the original report
was March 19, fixed on March 20, released as errata + syspatch on March
22.  then we shipped the 6.5 release on May 1.

So that means 6.5 shipped without the problem.

FreeBSD finally release something on May 14.

You may also find it hard to believe it took two nearly months for them
to merge a fix from OpenBSD which applied with mininum fuzz, validate
it, and then ship it to users.  Also, that was done without mentioning that
the fix was taken from an OpenBSD repair job which got done within 24 hours
of the initial report.  Rah rah for themselves, I suppose.
