issue with putty using sudo apt-get install. Is it malware?
Asked by
don cochrane
My company has issued a malware warning for putty. The warning says to look at the about info and if the license version shows up as:
"Unidentified build"
this version is malware.
But I got this version using sudo apt-get install putty. I tried to perform "sudo apt-get remove putty" and then "apt-get install putty", but I got the same unidentified build.
Is this version safe? It may only be the windows version my company is talking about.
If the version is safe, can a bug be filed and the license info be fixed?
Thanks,
