> Because this vulnerability exists in bspatch, a component used by freebsd-update, a special procedure must be followed to safely update. First, truncate bspatch to a zero byte file.
> FreeBSD-update will fall back to replacing bspatch, rather than applying a binary patch. Proceed with FreeBSD-update as usual.
