summary: SSH remote tunneling may cause crash class: bug: This is clearly an actual problem we want fixed. difficulty: fun: Just needs tuits, and not many of them. priority: high: This should be fixed in the next release. absent-in: 0.55 present-in: 0.56 fixed-in: 2004-11-02 352bca5b1e8a5f9993c74ca2968a563c51dd1651 0.57
When any remote tunnels are configured, there is a chance that PuTTY
will crash (or do something else bad), mostly likely after user
authentication (when tunnels are first set up). Increasing numbers of
remote tunnels is likely to increase the likelihood of a crash. This
affects both SSH-1 and SSH-2.
(This is due to free()-ing of an uninitialised pointer in
the event logging code. Other than the errant free(),
execution is not affected.)
