freebsd security - May 2019 - POC and patch for the CVE-2018-15473

My company has remained with FreeBSD 11 for now because we have 
encountered NIC driver stability problems under heavy loads with FreeBSD 12.0.

As an ISP, we also endure constant brute force username and 
password guessing attacks, so a fix for this problem is of interest to us.

Is the FreeBSD port of OpenSSH 7.8 available for FreeBSD 11-STABLE 
from the ports collection and as a binary package? If not, shouldn't it be?

Yes, you can use the original at /usr/ports/security/openssh-portable
