Download PuTTY 0.70

A new release of PuTTY has become available and as usual it is offered as beta. PuTTY is one of the most popular telnet and ssh clients, which makes it possible to remotely manage a computer over a secure connection. Originally, the program was only available for Windows, but now there are also clients for the various Unix platforms. The changelog for version 0.70 can be found below.

These features are new in 0.70

• Security fix: the Windows PuTTY binaries should no longer be vulnerable to hijacking by specially named DLLs in the same directory, even a name we missed when we thought we’d fixed this in 0.69. see vuln-indirect-dll-hijack-3.
• Windows PuTTY should be able to print again, after our DLL hijacking defenses broke that functionality.
• Windows PuTTY should be able to accept keyboard input outside the current code page, after our DLL hijacking defenses broke that too.
