This update for putty fixes the following issues:
Update to new upstream release 0.72 [boo#1144547, boo#1144548]
* Fixed two separate vulnerabilities affecting the obsolete SSH-1
protocol, both available before host key checking.
* Fixed a vulnerability in all the SSH client tools (PuTTY, Plink, PSFTP
and PSCP) if a malicious program can impersonate Pageant.
* Fixed a crash in GSSAPI / Kerberos key exchange triggered if the server
provided an ordinary SSH host key as part of the exchange.
