Firstly,
         it is bad form to hijack a old thread and reply to it for a
new topic.  How hard is it to type "freebsd-security@freebsd.org"
into a To: field and start a new topic?  Additionally it may not
be seen by anyone that had marked the old thread to be killed.

Yes, these are new.  From the referenced advisary notices.

        Version 2.0 - 5 July 2011: Public Disclosure

The freebsd security team are aware of this.
