    Each advisory has either instructions or a URL to instructions
    in the handbook on how to download and apply patches to your
    source tree and rebuild the affected parts of the base system.

    For a solution which is easier but not as supported (i.e., it's
    something I'm providing personally, rather than something the
    FreeBSD Security Team provides and supports), you might like to
    try FreeBSD Update (http://www.daemonology.net/freebsd-update,
    or security/freebsd-update in the ports tree).
