OpenSSH and OpenSSL vulnerabilities

Is OpenSSH compromised by the OpenSSL vulnerabilities?

I've been asked this question a number of times since the OpenSSL
vulnerabilities were anounced and this is what I figured:

- OpenSSH on 32-bit platforms is not vulnerable since it doesn't use
  TLS, S/MIME, certificates and/or PKCS#7.

- OpenSSH on 64-bit platforms is vulnerable to the integer string
  representation bug.

Comments?
