With previous ssh vulnerabilities I've been able to just patch the base
system, by rebuilding the world or using the patch included with the
advisory.  However, to get to 3.3 it looks like I'd need to install a port.

There are two OpenSSH ports: security/openssh and security/openssh-portable

What's the difference between these two ports?

Which one should I install to deal with this vulnerability?

The right answer to my second question may of course be, "wait for the
announcement on -security"

TIA,

	Scott
