There are 2 open security issues in buster.
2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:
- CVE-2020-14002:
(needs triaging)
PuTTY 0.68 through 0.73 has an Observable Discrepancy leading to an information leak in the algorithm negotiation. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to target initial connection attempts (where no host key for the server has been cached by the client).
- CVE-2021-36367:
(needs triaging)
PuTTY through 0.75 proceeds with establishing an SSH session even if it has never sent a substantive authentication response. This makes it easier for an attacker-controlled SSH server to present a later spoofed authentication prompt (that the attacker can use to capture credential data, and use that data for purposes that are undesired by the client user).
You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.
