freebsd security - Mar 2004 - FreeBSD-SA-04:05.openssl question

Hello there.

The FreeBSD-SA-04:05.openssl Security Advisory announced a
"null-pointer assignment during SSL handshake" DoS vulnerability.
However, the OpenSSH Security Advisory of 17 March 2004 announced the
same vulnerability with one more vulnerability. Look at
http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20040317.txt
Isn't FreeBSD vulnerable to the second "Out-of-bounds read affects
Kerberos ciphersuites" security problem?

Thanks

My original question was about specified vulnerability of OpenSSL, not
about applicaion that use it.
