Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for putty.

CVE-2021-36367[0]:
| 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).


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