Debian already patches security vulnerabilities in woody (the stable 
release).

But unless I'm reading it wrong, it appears that the 3.6.1 version 
(testing and unstable) is also patched.
(http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/o/openssh-krb5/openssh-krb5_3.6.1p2-5/changelog)
"SECURITY: fix for CAN-2003-0693, buffer allocation error"

I asked if openssh 3.8 was required because (as others have mentioned) 
certain authentication methods are not compatible in 3.8.
