It's not - you must have an out of date file, or are using an old
version of -stable (very old versions of OpenSSH didn't support
protocol 2).

The risk is actually with protocol 1 -- it has protocol flaws which
have been known for quite a while, independent of the recently
discovered attacks. You should disable it unless you need it.
