Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Heap-based buffer underflow in the modmul function in sshbn.c in PuTTY before 0.63 allows remote SSH servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly trigger memory corruption or code execution via a crafted DSA signature, which is not properly handled when performing certain bit-shifting operations during modular multiplication.

Buffer Overflow, Integer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Integer overflow in PuTTY 0.62 and earlier, WinSCP before 5.1.6, and other products that use PuTTY allows remote SSH servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code in certain applications that use PuTTY via a negative size value in an RSA key signature during the SSH handshake, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

Buffer Overflow
AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Buffer overflow in sshbn.c in PuTTY before 0.63 allows remote SSH servers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an invalid DSA signature that is not properly handled during computation of a modular inverse and triggers the overflow during a division by zero by the bignum functionality, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-4206.

Infoleak
AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

The rsaverify function in PuTTY before 0.63 (1) does not clear sensitive process memory after use and (2) does not free certain structures containing sensitive process memory, which might allow local users to discover private RSA and DSA keys.

Infoleak
AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

The (1) ssh2loaduserkey and (2) ssh2saveuserkey functions in PuTTY 0.51 through 0.63 do not properly wipe SSH-2 private keys from memory, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information by reading the memory.

Severity
1.9
AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

PuTTY 0.59 and earlier uses weak file permissions for (1) ppk files containing private keys generated by puttygen and (2) session logs created by putty, which allows local users to gain sensitive information by reading these files.
