NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream putty package and not the putty package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.16 relevant fixed versions and status.

PuTTY before 0.73 mishandles the "bracketed paste mode" protection mechanism, which may allow a session to be affected by malicious clipboard content.
