I've read the advisory. It states a couple of workarounds (which I
enabled at the time anyway) and also states that the problem is
rectified in -STABLE beyond a certain date.

However, looking at the openssh advisory's, the only fix is to be
running a version 3.7.1p1 or later. So I'm confused. Have the FreeBSD
team backported these fixes into 3.5.1 ? 

One of my problems is that some of my clients occasionally have 3rd
parties perform penetration testing on our servers. I need an
explanation for when the 3rd party comes back and says that I am running
a vulnerable ssh.
