FreeBSD Security Advisory FreeBSD-SA-16:33.openssh

[Xin LI]

The issue was originally reported to us as affecting OpenSSH 6.8+
(reference: RedHat bugtracker
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1384860), and therefore
9.3, 10.1 and 10.2 were not believed to be affected, so the "Affects:
All supported versions of FreeBSD" was a mistake in the original
advisory text.

We will investigate if the statement is true and will issue patches
for earlier FreeBSD releases, if they are confirmed to be affected.
The patch for 10.x can be amended (change "ssh_dispatch_set" to
"dispatch_set") to adapt to the earlier releases, by the way.
