I've read the advisory. It states a couple of workarounds (which I
enabled at the time anyway) and also states that the problem is
rectified in -STABLE beyond a certain date.

However, looking at the openssh advisory's, the only fix is to be
running a version 3.7.1p1 or later. So I'm confused. Have the FreeBSD
team backported these fixes into 3.5.1 ? 

One of my problems is that some of my clients occasionally have 3rd
parties perform penetration testing on our servers. I need an
explanation for when the 3rd party comes back and says that I am running
a vulnerable ssh.

Yes, that's why the FreeBSD advisory says the problem was rectified in
-STABLE beyond a certain date ;-)

Compare the version string to an unpatched openssh version...they are
not the same.

 Hi all,
 
 I just upgraded 2 servers to 4.9. On both of them, since the upgrade,
 ssh's version is being reported as 
 
 -bash-2.05b$ ssh -V
 OpenSSH_3.5p1 FreeBSD-20030924, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL
 0x0090703f
 
 I thought that anything prior to 3.7p1 was vulnerable ? Is this the
 correct version that I should be expecting, or do I have a problem ? 

Please read the security advisory.
