--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
We don't normally mark crashers as security bugs unless they take down
the master sshd process.

That being said, there is no NULL dereference here anyway. See the
"kdfname == NULL"

You are right about the logic error in testing the KDF name, but the
impact of this is failure to read keys that have a KDF that is other
than 'bcrypt' or 'none', which we would not be able to do anyway.
