CVE-2021-33500 is fixed in PuTTY on 1 platform by PuTTY 0.75.0.0 (version 0.75.0.0), released May 8, 2021. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
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.
