CVE-2013-4206

PuTTY < 0.63 - Heap-Based Buffer Underflow via Crafted DSA Signature

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

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.
