As I read it, it primarily affects outgoing TLS connections. I.e., curl, wget, et al, and possibly (and more importantly IMO) apache/nginx proxying to another server.

It seems to be worked on.  The fix is already in the tree as of yesterday. https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/commit/?id=fbd465f263400d3bc6c1a5c30857a76738c64396 I imagine there will be a SA in the near future.     ---Mike
