If you mean to the out-of-sequence TCP packets DOS, then yes.  URLs
for patches and other instructions for securing RELENG_5_1 and
RELENG_4_7 were added to FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp.asc yesterday.  See:

    ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/CERT/advisories/FreeBSD-SA-04:04.tcp.asc

You're advised to upgrade from 5.1 as soon as may be, since it's
no-longer an officially supported early-adopter release.  There's no
guarrantee that patches for unsupported releases will be forthcoming
in future, or that they will appear in a timely manner.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
