That option does exist, but only on master; it was not in the 0.66
release. It turned up by mistake when I updated the documentation copy
of the Plink online help while preparing the 0.66 release, because I
ran plink from the wrong branch.
The new release automation should stop that kind of mistake from
happening in future.
A user reported in January that locking down our process ACL causes
get_user_sid's call to OpenProcessToken to fail with a permissions
error. This _shouldn't_ be important, because we'll already have found
and cached the user SID before getting that far - but unfortunately
the call to get_user_sid in winnpc.c was bypassing the cache and
trying the whole process again.
This fix changes the memory ownership semantics of get_user_sid():
it's now an error to free the value it gives you, or else the *next*
call to get_user_sid() will return a stale pointer. Hence, also
removed those frees everywhere they appear.
The reporter of vuln-pscp-sink-sscanf asked for a key to encrypt the
vulnerability report with, and having generated one, it seemed like a
good idea to make it part of the official PuTTY GPG key set and
publish it for the next person to use.
ssh_pkt_getstring can return (NULL,0) if the input packet is too short
to contain a valid string.
In quite a few places we were passing the returned pointer,length pair
to a printf function with "%.*s" type format, which seems in practice
to have not been dereferencing the pointer but the C standard doesn't
actually guarantee that. In one place we were doing the same job by
hand with memcpy, and apparently that _can_ dereference the pointer in
practice (so a server could have caused a NULL-dereference crash by
sending an appropriately malformed "x11" type channel open request).
And also I spotted a logging call in the "forwarded-tcpip" channel
open handler which had forgotten the field width completely, so it was
erroneously relying on the string happening to be NUL-terminated in
the received packet.
I've tightened all of this up in general by normalising (NULL,0) to
("",0) before calling printf("%.*s"), and replacing the two even more
broken cases with the corrected version of that same idiom.
There was a rogue sscanf("%s") with no field width limit, targeting a
stack-based buffer, and scanning a string containing untrusted data.
It occurs in the 'sink' side of the protocol, i.e. when downloading
files *from* the server.
Our own bug id for this vulnerability is 'vuln-pscp-sink-sscanf'.
GCC 6 emits strict-aliasing warnings here, so use the existing
sockaddr_union arrangements to avoid those. As a prerequisite for being
able to express sk_tcp_peer_info in terms of sockaddr_union, I fixed up
the union elements to be a bit less odd in the NO_IPV6 case.

GCC 6 warns about potentially misleading indentation, such as:
if (condition) stmt1; stmt2;
Chaining multiple ifs on a single line runs into this warning, even if
it's probably not actually misleading to a human eye, so just add a
couple of newlines to pacify the compiler.
(cherry picked from commit d700c33422)
Not that anyone actually needs to use that conditioned-out main(),
since it only generates the table already present in the same source
file, but since @ch3root's unused-variable patch touched it I tried
compiling it and noticed in passing that I'd also got the wrong printf
format directive for an unsigned long.

Now we have licence.pl, it seems to me to make very good sense to have
it generate the Halibut form(s) of the licence and copyright year as
well as the source-code forms.
As a result, I believe _no_ copies of the licence text or copyright
date exist any more except for the master one in LICENCE - so I can
completely remove the checklist section about all the places to update
it, because there's only one. Hooray!

Conflicts:
doc/licence.but
(cherry-picker's note: the conflict was just because the deleted file

Now all the uses of the licence text or the short copyright notice get
it from a new header "licence.h", which in turn is built by a Perl
script licence.pl invoked by mkfiles.pl, using LICENCE itself as the
source.
Hence, I can completely remove a whole section from the list of
licence locations in CHECKLST.txt :-)

This makes the About and Licence boxes copy-and-pasteable, similarly
to what I've just done on Unix.
(But unlike on the Unix side, here I haven't touched the host key
prompt dialog, because that's a standard Windows MessageBox and not
easy to mess around with. Plus, in any case, you can already hit ^C to
copy the whole text out of a MessageBox. Same goes for the PGP
fingerprints dialog.)
As a side effect, several copies of the copyright notice and licence
text have moved from .rc files into C source. I've updated
CHECKLST.txt, but they won't stay there for long.

Or, at least, potentially do so. The build script now has a slot into
which code-signing can be dropped by setting a variable in the bob
configuration to specify an appropriate command line.
The variable will typically need to point at a script wrapping the
actual signing tool, since there are lots of fiddly details
(timestamping countersignature, certificate, private key, etc) not
given on the command lines in this build script, on the basis that
they're local configuration questions for whoever is _running_ this
build script.

logevent() doesn't do printf-style formatting (though the logeventf

By default Windows processes have wide open ACLs which allow interference
by other processes running as the same user. Adjust our ACL to make this
a bit harder.
Because it's useful to protect PuTTYtel as well, carve winsecur.c into
advapi functions and wincapi.c for crypt32 functions.

Half the release checklist has changed recently, what with me
completely reworking the website and also writing all this release
automation. I think these are all the checklist changes needed now the
dust has settled, though of course when I do the next actual release I
expect there'll turn out to be something I missed...
(cherry picked from commit 3e811b3dff)
I've added extra modes to release.pl which should automate the more
tedious parts of the deployment phase: uploading the release build to
all the places it needs to go, checking its integrity once it gets
there, verifying that everything can be downloaded again usefully,
checking content-types etc.
The new version should check more thoroughly (it checks the whole FTP
and HTTP download directories, so it will spot errors like failing to
update the FTP 'latest' symlink), and take fewer commands to run.
(cherry picked from commit f08e2de078)
The length coming back from ber_read_id_len might have overflowed, so
treat it as potentially negative. Also, while I'm here, accumulate it
inside ber_read_id_len as an unsigned, so as to avoid undefined
behaviour on integer overflow, and toint() it before return.

The initial test for a line ending with "PRIVATE KEY-----" failed to

TOOLTYPE_NONNETWORK (i.e. pterm) already has "-log" (as does Unix
PuTTY), so there's no sense suppressing the synonym "-sessionlog".
Undocumented lacunae that remain:
plink accepts -sessionlog, but does nothing with it. Arguably it should.
puttytel accepts -sshlog/-sshrawlog (and happily logs e.g. Telnet
negotiation, as does PuTTY proper).

I've added a few sample shell commands in the upload procedure (mostly
so that I don't have to faff about remembering how rsync trailing
slashes work every time), and also written a script called
'release.pl', which automates the updating of the version number in
all the various places it needs to be done and also ensures the PSCP
and Plink transcripts in the docs will match the release itself.

I spotted that I've been checking that old-style Windows Help files
were delivered with content-type "application/octet-stream", but not
also checking the same thing about the marginally newer .CHM ones. (Or
at least not writing it down in the wishlist; I think I did actually
check on at least one occasion.)

Proper snprintf is finally supported as of the latest Visual Studio,
and has better semantics for my purposes than the old MS-specific
_snprintf. (Specifically, if its output doesn't fit the buffer, it
returns the full size it _would_ have wanted, so that you can then
immediately allocate that much space, and don't have to keep going
round a loop increasing the buffer size until you find the answer.)
