Ok, I admit I don't understand the humor. My immediate response was, "sounds about right because of how these things happen".(I can be kinda dumb like that sometimes.)
Security advisories may not be immediately announced until a patch is available. If this is in regards to FreeBSD-SA-24:08.openssh, a patch was available the day before it was announced and then refined for prod over the next few days : https://www.freebsd.org/security/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-24:08.openssh.asc
The timing of this stuff is always wonky and it doesn't look like it hit a could of news places until today, about a week after: https://cyberpress.org/vulnerability-in-openssh-freebsd/
See i took it as a commercial product's firmware is really based on FreeBSD and they arw keeping it on the down low.
That makes sense
I was thinking it was referring to something like a SAS or BIOS firmware update. Which would be impressive if that also ran BSD
OpenBSD: is that a challenge?
Who am I to judge if the card has sufficient performance, security, cost, and physical form factor for my needs.
