I see that this is a CentOS 7 patch only, at least so far.  I also see that the 
CentOS 6 ssh version is 5.3
        > /usr/bin/ssh -V
        OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013
which is supposedly not affected. However, strings indicates that /usr/bin/ssh 
is also aware for the useroaming configuration option:
        > strings /usr/bin/ssh | grep -i useroam
        useroaming
Is it actually known that the ssh version shipped with CentOS 6 is not 
vulnerable, or is it just assumed based on the version number?  The 
announcement implies that the roaming code itself was added in 5.4, not just 
that a default was changed, but if that’s really true, why is that string in 
the binary?

                                                                                
                Noam

P.S. I do realize this is a question better directed to RedHat, but I’m hoping 
someone here might still know.
