Ptrace PT_LWPINFO Denial of Service Vulnerability in FreeBSD

There was a vulnerability found in FreeBSD a few days ago. Certainly this bug is not first in freebsd and its not last for sure, but i was quite surprised today, when i read vendore responce:

« The policy of the FreeBSD Security Team is that local denial of service bugs not be treated as security issues; it is possible that this problem will be corrected in a future Erratum. »

What a nice policy i wasnt aware of.
