correct, some of your relays run versions before the latest stable security releases
and are vulnerable to CVE-2021-38385 (DoS)

FreeBSD ships tor version 0.4.6.7 - which is fine.

If you do not get that version via pkg
make sure you use the latest (not quarterly) repo to get the latest updates sooner.

EPEL 8 has tor version 0.4.5.10 which is also fine.
