    and remediated if using the latest version or latest version of things using it.

      I’d consider the ecdsa-sha2-nistp521 private keys used with those versions as compromised, and suggest generating new private keys asap.

        Does anyone know if the new versions of putty (or applications using putty likeTortoiseGIT) will warn users about this?
