This *is* what they claim to do.

Personally, I think their claims are unrealistic and all the hype about
"software audit" is just that - hype.  If the OpenSSH team are working
with ISS on a fix then it seems to me that ISS found this problem, not
the OpenSSH team.  Why did the audit by the OpenSSH team miss this
problem ?  Isn't this what their code audits are meant to find - security
bugs ?  What benefit are we *really* getting from their "code audits" ?
