ReadyNAS OS is based on Debian wheezy (current stable), which is shipping with v6.0p1 at the moment (https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/openssh-server).
Our version is pulled from the ReadyNAS repository, however the current version is available from the main Debian repo:
Debian stable is not bleeding edge and never has been.
I would hope OpenBSD-5.5(current) is running latest, since it is OpenBSD Secure Shell ;)
Gentoo, rolling release, 'nough said.
You should be able to update select packages relatively easily from backports (http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/).
Current version of openssh-server in backports is v6.6p1 (https://packages.debian.org/wheezy-back ... ssh-server).
Don't have an x86 system to test with at the moment, but on my ARM system it upgrades a few dependencies and installs a few new packages, but otherwise seems OK. Your mileage may vary and this is definitely something our support team can void your warranty over (until you factory default) should you run into issues.
