## Description

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) sftp\_pkt\_getstring and (2)
fxp\_readdir\_recv functions in the PSFTP and PSCP clients for PuTTY 0.56,
and possibly earlier versions, allow remote malicious web sites to execute
arbitrary code via SFTP responses that corrupt the heap after insufficient
memory has been allocated.
