  As I read in this SA, this vulnerability was fixed on 2004-05-20, before
4.10 was released, so 4.10-RELEASE isn't vulnerable, right? But portaudit
still complains about FreeBSD-491000. Probably, wrong check in auditfile?
Also, it would be nice if such an advisories advance kern.osreldate,
so auditfile could check this automatically; e.g., I have 4.9-RELEASE-p11, 
which isn't vulnerable to this problem, but kern.osreldate is still 490000 
there. If Security Officer bumps src/sys/conf/newvers.sh, why he doesn't bump 
src/sys/sys/param.h?

Sincerely, Dmitry
