Hello,

Sorry for the completely OT post, but I saw two mentions of PuTTY in
one day on the list and assume it must be a popular piece of Windows
software. The SANS Institute "@Risk" newsletter dated 8AUG04 contains
the following item regarding PuTTY:

04.31.4 CVE: Not Available
Platform: Third Party Windows Apps
Title: PuTTY Remote Buffer Overflow
Description: PuTTY is a free Telnet and SSH client. It has been
reported that PuTTY is subject to a pre-authentication buffer overflow
that can allow malicious servers to execute code on a client machine
as it attempts to negotiate connection. PuTTY 0.54 and previous
versions are vulnerable.
Ref:
http://www.coresecurity.com/common/showdoc.php?idx=417&idxseccion=10 

Again, sorry for the OT post, but it seems (at least) very marginally
relevant to some. We now return you regularly scheduled program of
FBSD....

Regards,

Stheg
