Last modified
CVE-2004-1008 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer signedness error in the ssh2_rdpkt function in PuTTY before 0.56 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a SSH2_MSG_DEBUG packet with a modified stringlen parameter, which leads to a buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 7.36% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Description
