Staunch your Heartbleed patching: FreeBSD has a nasty credentials leak

From http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/05...k_credentials/

Quote:

Got FreeBSD? Get busy on the patch, because a problem with its TCP ordering has emerged, with both denial-of-service and potential data leaks as the vulnerabilities.

The issue exists in how the popular Unix-like operating system handles TCP packets received out-of-order.
