Hi Mark,

IBM Ported Tools OpenSSH statically links in parts of the OpenSSL library.

But, OpenSSH does not use SSL/TLS so, the heartbleed exposure would not
apply.

I assume that IBM's response means that, when statically linking, the parts
of OpenSSL that implement TLS are not included.

A Binder map of ssh or sshd would verify this.
