Hello,

A flaw in libssh was published a few days ago, https://threatpost.com/libssh-authentic ... rs/138399/" rel="nofollow

From your release notes I can see that in Wing FTP Server v4.8.7, Released: 19/Apr/2017, you updated to libssh 0.7.5. Is there a timeframe for updating to 0.7.6 to mitigate this serious vulnerability?

Thanks,

This needs patched ASAP, Wing FTP instances are sitting ducks until this is resolved unless they're somehow not vulnerable.

OK, SFTP authentication part is handled by WingFTP, not libssh. So I think WingFTP won't be effected by this vulnerability.

Is a new release still planned or are you confident the current version isn't vulnerable? Thanks!

Yes, in WingFTP, SFTP authentication is not handled libssh. Anyway, we will update libssh in the next release, not for this vulnerability.

The new version 6.0.1 has been released, and libssh is updated to v0.7.7 now.
