Hi,

Ssh in OpenBSD 6.3 (stable), and I presume 6.2, is vulnerable
to username existance checking by remote systems.

OpenBSD current has a patch.
https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/779974d35b4859c07bc3cb8a12c74b43b0a7d1e0

Demonstration code is found here:

  https://bugfuzz.com/stuff/ssh-check-username.py

Those not familiar with Python can follow these steps
to confirm vulnerability existance:

   # Python version 2.7 may have a different name on your system.
   virtualenv -p python2.7 sshenum_venv
   ./sshenum_venv/bin/pip install paramiko
   ./sshenum_venv/bin/python ssh-check-username.py host.example.com testuser

More information can be found in the attached emails
previously sent to secur...@openbsd.org.
