You forgot to include this (from the link above):
*Solution/Vendor Information/Workaround:*
PuTTY 0.55 fixes these vulnerabilities. It is available at:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
PuTTY maintainers recommend that everybody upgrade to 0.55 as soon as
possible.
-- The latest PuTTY version in ports is 0.55. - jt _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
