CVE-2019-9895

In PuTTY versions before 0.71 on Unix, a remotely triggerable buffer overflow exists in any kind of server-to-client forwarding.

In PuTTY versions before 0.71 on Unix, a remotely triggerable buffer overflow exists in any kind of server-to-client forwarding.

A remotely triggerable memory overwrite in RSA key exchange in PuTTY before 0.71 can occur before host key verification (CVE-2019-9894).

In PuTTY versions before 0.71 on Unix, a remotely triggerable buffer overflow exists in any kind of server-to-client forwarding (CVE-2019-9895).

Multiple denial-of-service attacks that can be triggered by writing to the terminal exist in PuTTY versions before 0.71 (CVE-2019-9897).

Potential recycling of random numbers used in cryptography exists within PuTTY before 0.71 (CVE-2019-9898).

The putty package has been updated to version 0.71 and the filezilla package has been updated and patched to fix these issues.

wxgtk has been updated to fix an assert when starting filezilla.

This update for putty fixes the following issues:

Update to new upstream release 0.71 [boo#1129633]

• CVE-2019-9894: Fixed a remotely triggerable memory overwrite in RSA key exchange, which can occur before host key verification potential recycling of random numbers used in cryptography.
• CVE-2019-9895: Fixed a remotely triggerable buffer overflow in any kind of server-to-client forwarding.
• CVE-2019-9897: Fixed multiple denial-of-service attacks that can be triggered by writing to the terminal.
• CVE-2019-9898: Fixed potential recycling of random numbers used in cryptography
• CVE-2019-9896 (Windows only): Fixed hijacking by a malicious help file in the same directory as the executable
• Major rewrite of the crypto code to remove cache and timing side channels.
