--- Comment #4 from Ed Schouten <ed at FreeBSD.org> ---
Exactly. In stable these are not enabled.

Though I agree that these issues are pretty bad, we usually treat the console
as something that only trusted people can access. As far as I know, there isn't
a way to print arbitrary, unescaped data on one of vt(4)'s windows without
having a local login session.

Earlier this year we wrote an erratum for something similar: a bad ioctl() call
on vt(4) that could cause the system to crash.
