[GLSA-200410-29] PuTTY: Pre-authentication buffer overflow |
||
PuTTY: Pre-authentication buffer overflow Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200410-29 (PuTTY: Pre-authentication buffer overflow) PuTTY fails to do proper bounds checking on SSH2_MSG_DEBUG packets. The "stringlen" parameter value is incorrectly checked due to signedness issues. Note that this vulnerability is similar to the one described in GLSA 200408-04 but not the same. Impact When PuTTY connects to a server using the SSH2 protocol, a possible hacker may be able to send specially crafted packets to the client, resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running PuTTY. Note that this is possible during the authentication process but before host key verification. Workaround There is no known workaround at this time.
