I don't know if FreeBSD is vulnerable or not. There are main Linux 
distros and NetBSD listed in the article.

https://thehackernews.com/2020/03/ppp-daemon-vulnerability.html

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2020-8597 [1] with CVSS Score 9.8, can 
be exploited by unauthenticated attackers to remotely execute arbitrary 
code on affected systems and take full control over them.
