Synopsis
========

PuTTY was found to contain vulnerabilities that can allow a malicious
SFTP server to execute arbitrary code on unsuspecting PSCP and PSFTP
clients.

Background
==========

PuTTY is a popular SSH client, PSCP is a secure copy implementation,
and PSFTP is a SSH File Transfer Protocol client.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/putty < 0.57 >= 0.57

Description
===========

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the PSCP and PSFTP clients,
which can be triggered by the SFTP server itself. These issues are
caused by the improper handling of the FXP_READDIR response, along with
other string fields.

Impact
======

An attacker can setup a malicious SFTP server that would send these
malformed responses to a client, potentially allowing the execution of
arbitrary code on their system.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All PuTTY users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/putty-0.57"
