    Hey,

    I'm a bit confused, and it may just be a typo.

    I recently updated a bunch of servers to patch the arp problem recently
    announced:
    ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-03%3A14.arp.asc

    Now, with the chaos in my life, plus getting physically ill during the last
    few days, I've not been 100% sure I finished the upgrade on all these machines,
    so I went around checking uname -a to make sure.

    Every single machine I upgraded says 4.8-RELEASE-p5

    Now, the security advisory claims the problem is fixed in 4.8-RELEASE-p10.

    I know that I completely updated at least _some_ of these machines ;)

    Anyway. Is there a typo somewhere? Or am I misunderstanding the
    bulliten?
