Software makers usually fix these issues but it can take them some time. What you can do in the meantime is to download and install an older version of PuTTY 0.57.

What's new in this version:

- Security fixes: two vulnerabilities discovered by iDEFENSE, potentially allowing arbitrary code execution on an SFTP client by a malicious SFTP server (but only after host key verification), have been fixed. See vuln-sftp-readdir, vuln-sftp-string.
- Fixed small bug with X forwarding to local displays.
- Fixed crashing bug with remote port forwarding.
- Fixed handling of SSH-2 debug messages (embarrassingly, a bug introduced when fixing the previous vulnerability - it was more secure but didn't work any more!).
