PuTTY 0.56 user reviews: (1 total) Add new review From: anonymous PuTTY is a free implementation of Telnet and SSH for Win32 platforms, along with an xterm terminal emulator. PuTTY 0.56 fixes a serious security hole which can allow a server to execute code of its choice on a PuTTY client connecting to it. In SSH2, the attack can be performed before host key verification, meaning that even if you trust the server you think you are connecting to, a different machine could be impersonating it and could launch the attack before you could tell the difference. We recommend everybody upgrade to PuTTY 0.56 as soon as possible
