Request: Putty 0.71 update

[Healey, Jason]

Hey there Robie,

First, thank you for the response. I appreciate it. I can’t imagine how many random mails must come through.

I’m looking at the xenial page…
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=putty&searchon=names&suite=xenial-updates&section=all
and knowing that a 0.71 for putty is out, and versions below have a possible RCE now, I wanted to poke to get the -updates suites up to date.  Disco, cosmic and bionic are still < 0.71, too.  I certainly don’t need this rolled into a stable release, but updating the -updates for security purposes seems to be worthwhile.

If that’s not possible/probable, just let me know.

And thank you again for your time,

Jason

There was a putty update this past weekend to get us to 0.71 and patching a few vulnerabilities.  I was wondering if the repos could get the new version?

Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates for details.

Security updates certainly qualify but if an update is solely for
security purposes then the usual method is to cherry-pick patches to
minimise regression risk.

Hope that helps,

Robie
