There is always a certain amount of risk, mostly because the number of
combinations and variations supported by OpenSSH + PAM are far beyond
my ability to test exhaustively (or do more than just scratch the
surface).  Standard precautions include not upgrading remote systems
unless you can accept a slight chance that you will be locked out when
it reboots (if something went wrong with sshd).
