[Secure-testing-team] Bug#718800: filezilla: CVE-2013-4852: PuTTY SSH handshake heap overflow

[Salvatore Bonaccorso]

Package: filezilla
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch upstream

Hi,

the following vulnerability was published for putty, but filezilla
embedds putty source:

CVE-2013-4852[0]:
PuTTY SSH handshake heap overflow

See the advisory [1] for details referring to putty commit [2].
AFAICS filezilla embedding putty in vulnerable version is used in
build for fzsftp. See [3] for the corresponding bugreport for putty
itself.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

For further information see:
