You might like to note this from OpenSSH 3.9 (several years before the paper)
which means that some of the techniques mentioned don't apply to sshd.

* Make sshd(8) re-execute itself on accepting a new connection. This security
  measure ensures that all execute-time randomisations are reapplied for each 
  connection rather than once, for the master process' lifetime. This includes
  mmap and malloc mappings, shared library addressing, shared library mapping 
  order, ProPolice and StackGhost cookies on systems that support such things
