CVE-2021-33500 edited at 21 May 2021 22:12:51
Severity	- Unknown + Low
Remote	- Unknown + Remote
Type	- Unknown + Denial of service
Description	+ PuTTY before 0.75 on Windows allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (Windows GUI hang) by telling the PuTTY window to change its title repeatedly at high speed, which results in many SetWindowTextA or SetWindowTextW calls. NOTE: the same attack methodology may affect some OS-level GUIs on Linux or other platforms for similar reasons.
