This issue only applies to ssh protocol v1.  The above page says:

 ** Not vulnerable:

SSH2 (ssh.com): all 2.x releases NOTE: SSH2 installations with SSH1 fallback
support are vulnerable
</quote>

This problem did exist in ssh-nonfree in unstable, and was fixed in
1.2.27-8.

The stable version of OpenSSH (ssh) was fixed in February, see DSA-027-1:

http://www.debian.org/security/2001/dsa-027

The stable version of ssh-nonfree has recently been patched to fix the
vulnerability, see DSA-086-1:
