Hi Daniel,
	I see that you posted this over 2 months ago, but I wanted to get back to you since no one did...
	- Xin Li took care of the 2.6.4 update / MFC of my changes.
	- CVE-2024-9143 is a low severity OpenSSL CVE (the CVE sounds like it’s not likely to trigger in the wild due to a combination of reasons). If I was re@, I’d personally like to see it rolled into an actual OpenSSL release first before taking the change in to a FreeBSD release so close to the actual FreeBSD release, or have it be rolled in to main and get some wall time first.
	I’ll see if I can do something about the CVE, since my group already tried addressing it [upstream].
Cheers,
