HardenedBSD 12 released

Quite impressive for a project that some FreeBSD developers have, in the past, described as a one man project, a "joke", and a PR campaign, among other things, which ofcourse, has had nothing except Capsicum to back itself, on their side. It's funny some even go to lengths to call it mitigation.

I heard today's bootpd buffer overflow was also prevented by the combination of their ASLR+PaX NOEXEC+SafeStack that HBSD makes use of, but that's ofcourse not the first (nor would it be the last) bug it has eliminated. Maybe that's just my pessimistic view of security in FreeBSD, and that everything is fine (as people are often told to believe)...
