You should read the OpenBSD Security page [1], where OpenSSH is
covered, too, as it is part of it.

Sorry, But the link you provided talked about there policy, but not
about the RESULTS. Yeah, all sorts of people talk about what a great
job they are doing, but RESULTS talk louder than claims. If your
believe the braging of the people that create stuff, then you are in
worse shape than I thouhgt. You really should learn to think for
yourself.

You didn't read it entirely, did you? Scroll down, and you'll find a
history of all advisories regarding OpenBSD (not OpenSSH alone, but the
full system). The exploitability of them mostly depends on certain
configuration combinations, which are not default.

I'm sorry for posting so many times, but this is just TOOOOOOOOO
FUNNNNNNNYYYYY, I can't stop. First, we are in a LINUX security group, NOT
BSD security, Second, what "mostly" happens on BSD does not mean that ssh
has a good record. There is an old saying about averages that I will adapt
here: Your head is in an oven at 2000 degrees, your feet are in a freezer
at 1 degree above absolute 0. Your body, from your ankles to your neck is
at 72 degrees. Your body is "mostly" OK so there is no problems right?
Bwhahahahahahahahhaha, Saying "mostly" does not mean that small parts do
not have SERIOUS problems. Saying that " The exploitability of them mostly
depends..." About BSD as a whole does NOT prove anything about SSH as a
part. Saying that BSD's security is "mostly" anything says NOTING about SSH
SPECIFICALLY. SSH could be a sieve and still BSD could be "mostly" ok.
