    no.
    
    the sftp bug requires that a user is able to log in to the machine (as any
    given account). OpenSSH would then ignore command restrictions in the key.
    
    i'm fairly sure that the exploit simply uses the known CRC32 attack. but
    i've yet to find any common implimentation of OpenSSH that's vulnerable.
    I've tested it against 2.3.0 shipped with FreeBSD 4.2 through 4.4, aswell
    as against OpenSSH 2.9 on OpenBSD 2.9 (release, direct from the cdrom).
    none of the machines were affected.
