2005-02-20 SECURITY HOLE, fixed in PuTTY 0.57

PuTTY 0.57, released today, fixes two security holes which can allow a malicious SFTP server to execute code of its choice on a PSCP or PSFTP client connecting to it. We recommend everybody upgrade to 0.57 as soon as possible.

I would test, but I'm not on gentoo atm, just looking through some things and noticed this, so I figured it would be beneficial to mention here.  Latest in portage is 0.56.

i lately marked it stable on amd64. at least amd64@g.o was never added to cc according to my mails. now keywords are KEYWORDS="x86 alpha ~ppc ~sparc amd64"

i saw the glsa, but shouldn't all arches be stable before this is announced?
Comment 5 Luke Macken (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-22 11:30:28 UTC 
No arches were called on this because the maintainer retained the KEYWORDS from the previous version (which was "x86 alpha ~ppc ~sparc ~amd64").
