Unfortunately, I don't think your custom kernel got the patch.

In your case you will want to follow option 2 with:
"
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.

# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-14:19/tcp.patch
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-14:19/tcp.patch.asc
# gpg --verify tcp.patch.asc

b) Apply the patch.  Execute the following commands as root:

# cd /usr/src
# patch < /path/to/patch

c) Recompile your kernel as described in
http://www.FreeBSD.org/handbook/kernelconfig.html and reboot the
system.
