I don't know for sure what this individual was referring to, but
OpenSSH prior to the 3.4 release had quite a few security bugs. This
prompted the OpenSSH team to perform another security audit, after
which, version 3.4 was released. Also, since privilege separation
was added, it reduces that chance of a bug will result in a remote
root compromise (if used).
I don't recall any serious problems having been found in it since
version 3.4 was released in Sept of 2002. It's still better than
relying on telnet, or other unencrypted communications for remote
management.
