+	   <p>About the <a href="https://meltdownattack.com/">Meltdown</a>
+	   and <a href="https://spectreattack.com/">Spectre</a> attacks:
+	   FreeBSD was made aware of the problems in late December 2017.
+	   We're working with CPU vendors and the published papers on
+	   these attacks to mitigate them on FreeBSD. Due to the
+	   fundamental nature of the attacks, no estimate is yet
+	   available for the publication date of patches.</p>
