* The base MUST be smaller than the modulus.

The vulnerability lies in the following code (from sshbn.c): While PSCP is authenticating to the server this vulnerability can be triggered by sending a specially crafted big number (the "base" big number sent by the server). To send specially crafted packets to the SSH client. The vulnerabilities were triggered by modifying the implementation of OpenSSH 3.8.1p1, specifically by modifying the following functions: Technical Description - Exploit/Concept Code:
Putty download safe software#
We wish to thank Simon Tatham and Jacob Nevins, maintainers of PuTTY, and several other authors of software using part of the PuTTY code, for their quick response to this issue and for providing additional information concerning the attacks.

WinSCP 3.6.7 fixes these vulnerabilities and is available at:Īdditional information concerning these attacks written by Simon Tatham, author of Putty, is available at: PuTTY for Symbian OS Version 1.3.1 fixes these vulnerabilities: PuTTYcyg (Cygwin terminal) version 20040811 fixes these vulnerabilities: IVT (Freeware VT220 Telnet/Ssh Emulator) version 18.1 fixes these vulnerabilities: Gentoo Linux includes PuTTY, refer to their advisory:
Putty download safe upgrade#
PuTTY maintainers recommend that everybody upgrade to 0.55 as soon as possible. Secure iXplorer version 1.28 and previous versions might be vulnerable. puttytools: all versions are vulnerable (uses PuTTY CVS from 2004-01).pscp 0.49b: all subversions are vulnerable (uses PuTTY 0.49b).NettleSSH: all versions are vulnerable (uses PuTTY 0.45b).SSHProxy: all versions are vulnerable (uses PuTTY 0.45b).PuTTY for Symbian OS 1.3.0 and previous versions are vulnerable.

PuTTYcyg (Cygwin terminal) versions previous to 20040811 are vulnerable. IVT (Freeware VT220 Telnet/Ssh Emulator) version 18.0a and previous versions are vulnerable. PuTTY, PSCP, PSFTP and Plink 0.54 and previous versions are vulnerable. The SSH core of WinSCP is based on PuTTY and is affected by the same vulnerabilities. WinSCP is an open source SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) and SCP (Secure CoPy) client for Windows using SSH (Secure SHell). This attack is performed before host key verification.

In SSH2, an attacker impersonating a trusted host can launch an attack before the client has the ability to determine the difference between the trusted and fake host. We have found that by sending specially crafted packets to the client during the authentication process, an attacker is able to compromise and execute arbitrary code on the machine running PuTTY or PSCP. PuTTY and PSCP are client applications used by network and security administrators to login securily to networked server systems. PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 and Unix platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. Notification acknowledged by PuTTY maintainers:
