+ <title>PuTTY: Remote code execution</title>
+ <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>
+ <p>
+ PuTTY is a popular SSH client, PSCP is a secure copy
+ implementation, and PSFTP is a SSH File Transfer Protocol client.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ 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.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All PuTTY users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/putty-0.57"</code>
+ </resolution>
