I’m writing this status report a little early because this coming week (the week of the 28th of September 2026) is HardenedBSD quarterly release engineering week. On that note, I plan to cherry-pick a few “commits that smell like security” that FreeBSD recently made against their main branch into our 15-stable branch. I suspect over the next week or two, we might see a FreeBSD Security Advisory and/or Errata Notice.
