It probably goes without saying, but anyone running a version of ssh
prior to 3.4 that is open to the Internet as a whole should consider
adjusting their firewall rules, to only allow ssh connections from
networks they trust.  That goes double for LEAF (or other) platforms
that do not have a dedicated team to package security updates and
need a bit more time to react.  Security in layers is a Good Thing.

My apologies if I am wasting bandwidth by stating the obvious.
