Numerous requests force an additional statement.

The ssh versions 3.* are not shipped with SuSE Linux, all versions of the
distribution.

Thanks to Frank Denis for pointing this out on bugtraq.

Since most of the mentioned systems are older than ssh-3.*, it seems
logical that these systems can't be affected by default. It should have
been mentioned that the platforms mentioned above are vulnerable if the
said version of ssh has been installed on them.
I wish for more precision in future security announcements from ssh.com.
