You must update you source tree by using csup (it's integrate in FreeBSD
now), with some config file like
*default host=cvsup5.fr.freebsd.org compress
*default release=cvs
*default base=/usr/local/etc/cvsup
*default prefix=/usr
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default tag=RELENG_6_2
src-all
After that you can read the file
/usr/src/UPDATING
wich containt the problem each patch level fix. And it's your «job» to
known if this problem affect you.

I think you're Linux user ;-)
The source tree containt all systeme. What's mean the kernel and the
userland (like cd/ls/etc.).
Well you need to known if the patch-level is affect the userland or/and
kernel.
But if you've a modern PC, you can make world. For that you can do:
cd /usr/src
make -DNO_PROFILE buildworld
make buildkernel (add KERNELCONF=you_config_name, if you've custom
kernel
config)
make installkernel (add KERNELCONF= etc....)
reboot
when you'r in boot menu choose item 4 for boot in single mode
when you obtaint something like shell press Return, you are in single mode
with only / mounted.
Type :
mount -a -t ufs
cd /usr/src
make -DNO_PROFILE installworld (this thing install all userland)
mergemaster (this thing make all etc_file in /tmp and do a big diff
and ask you if you want install the new file or keep the
old one).
logout
After that you have a fresh kernel, and fresh userland.
Hope that's help
Regards.
