I've read a lot about how windows and linux are vulnerable, but not
much info regarding FreeBSD. Does anyone know how worried we should
be? Any comment on possible corrective measures being implemented by
the dev team?

Yes, according to Robert Lee all versions of BSD including freebsd are
affected. And they say going to ipv6 makes it even more vulnerable.

And how could the dev team implement a fix if we don't know the
specifics of the exploit? This will be something that the freebsd dev
team will need to fix and I'm sure they will asap.

AFAIK, the details are not really public at
and Robert Lee's response to that:
In regards to Fyodor's
articlehttp://insecure.org/stf/tcp-dos-attack-explained.html
:
There are some really valid points made; While his article does describe
some of how sockstress works and why it is efficient, it does not describe
our attacks.

We had a discussion on it on our private developer list a couple days
ago, end result is there isn't anything we can do without knowing
more, and even at that nothing we can do until FreeBSD fixes it if it
is a problem.
