No, the crc32 remote exploits affect OpenSSH < 2.3.0.

OpenSSH 2.3.0 from November 2000 is not affected.

The all recently found problems in OpenSSH are local, the default
installations should not be affected.

I don't think the UseLogin problem is a reason to panic, unless you
really need UseLogin (how many do? and UseLogin only works for 'slogin'
style logins, not for remote command execution).
