A couple of possibilities that spring to mind are:

	1. Buy the commercial version, and get commercial support.

	2. Fund the OpenSSH development so they can put funded resources
	on to fixing problems (and hence can ignore distracting influences
	like actually making money to pay for food, or turning in assignments,
	or ...)

If you expect a volunteer group to provide you with iron-clad secure
products, or to fix any found problems instantly, I think you're being
somewhat unrealistic.

They've found a problem, they've issued a warning, they're working on
a solution.  How much more do you want for free???
