putty (0.81-1) unstable; urgency=high PuTTY 0.81 fixes a critical vulnerability CVE-2024-31497 in the use of 521-bit ECDSA keys (ecdsa-sha2-nistp521). If you have used a 521-bit ECDSA private key with any previous version of PuTTY, consider the private key compromised: remove the public key from authorized_keys files, and generate a new key pair. However, this only affects that one algorithm and key size. No other size of ECDSA key is affected, and no other key type is affected. -- Colin Watson Mon, 15 Apr 2024 23:41:28 +0100
