BSDI Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Vulnerability

Solution:
The following temporary fix has been suggested:

1. chmod 000 to /usr/bin/fstat

2. Either move or remove /etc/mp.config. During boot, if this file is not found, BSDi will not boot into SMP mode.

Please note that these fixes are not endorsed by the vendor and your mileage may vary.
