FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-13:05.nfsserver

Could you please elaborate on that? I have also built my own kernel on
my servers and I must have missed the section in the handbook saying
that running a custom kernel implies that freebsd-update should not be
used.

Given a security problem, I don't want to spend hours recompiling my
base system whereas freebsd-update fixed the problem in seconds.

Thanks,
