--- Comment #2 from Philip Paeps <philip@FreeBSD.org> ---
This has happened a few times before, most recently in December last year.

For context:

The freebsd-update build process only rebuilds the kernel when the fixed
vulnerability is in the kernel binary.  If the vulnerability is in a module,
only that module is rebuilt.  In that case, the kernel version string reported
by `uname -r` doesn't change.

There is no good way to model this in vuxml.
