CVE-2021-36367 (GCVE-0-2021-36367)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2021-07-09 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-04 00:54
VLAI?
Summary
PuTTY through 0.75 proceeds with establishing an SSH session even if it has never sent a substantive authentication response. This makes it easier for an attacker-controlled SSH server to present a later spoofed authentication prompt (that the attacker can use to capture credential data, and use that data for purposes that are undesired by the client user).
Severity ?
8.1 (High)
