Reportedly PuTTY is affected by a remote, pre-authentication code execution vulnerability. An attacker might leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on an affected system. As this issue is exploitable before any authorization and before the host key is verified, any remote attacker can exploit this to gain unauthorized access to a vulnerable computer with the privileges of the user that started the affected application.
