CVE-2014-0224 is a flaw in the handling of certain Transport Layer
Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) messages.

the Secure Shell (SSH) is a different protocol from SSL or TLS.  OpenSSH
relies on the OpenSSL library for access to the cryptographic primitives
it provides, not for the TLS or SSL implementations.

So OpenSSH is not vulnerable to CVE-2014-0224.
