NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream putty package and not the putty package as distributed by Ubuntu.

PuTTY 0.59 through 0.61 does not clear sensitive process memory when managing user replies that occur during keyboard-interactive authentication, which might allow local users to read login passwords by obtaining access to the process' memory.
