Hi everyone,
I came across this :

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mailing.openbsd.tech/xALfxxR3oKo

" You are welcome.  Stuart Henderson wrote the draft, but he forgot that 
part, and Damien Miller and I realized it was needed.  We sensed there 
might be some ambiguity...  we'll take care the next time an 
OpenOffice problem also. 

... as long as you aren't using FreeBSD or a derivative (hint: Jupiper), 
you are fine.  That's the only place I know of an OpenSSH hole. 

Oh now I sense some angst.  Please ask Kirk McKusick, he knows the 
story about why this is not being disclosed to FreeBSD.  Sometimes I 
feel a bit sorry for them (and for him), but then the next minute I 
don't feel sorry because there's damn good reasons they won't be 
told about what I found. 

Does that answer help?  Hope so."

Any guidance here?
