>Description:
Currently the RSS feeds for SECURITY ADVISORIES and ERRATA NOTICES are currently broken...

http://www.freebsd.org/security/rss.xml
http://www.freebsd.org/security/errata.xml

..while the RSS feeds for LATEST NEWS works as expected:
http://www.freebsd.org/news/rss.xml

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to access the RSS feeds using Mozilla Firefox 15+ or Internet Explorer 9+. Possibly any other RSS reader will suffer the same behaviour and is unable to access the RSS feeds.
>Fix:
A quick diff showed a difference in the XML namespace declaration:

--- /tmp/broken.xml        2012-10-11 16:06:02.262740664 +0200

So $someone needs to fix this.
