Not an issue, just look at what they say:

"as demonstrated by loggig in to ssh using a login name containing certain
strings with an IP address"

And who is going to create a user in their system with "certain strings" and
whatever?  Answer: nobody.

So they found a flaw, so what? is not exploitable just a fluke to brag about
(for them) -- a waste of time for us.
