Descriptions

Mintty before 3.4.5 allows remote servers to cause a denial of service (Windows GUI hang) by telling the Mintty window to change its title repeatedly at high speed, which results in many SetWindowTextA or SetWindowTextW calls. In other words, it does not implement a usleep or similar delay upon processing a title change.

Mintty versiones anteriores a 3.4.5, permite a los servidores remotos causar una denegación de servicio (suspensión de la GUI de Windows) al decirle a la ventana de Mintty que cambie su título repetidamente a gran velocidad, lo que resulta en muchas llamadas SetWindowTextA o SetWindowTextW. En otras palabras, no implementa un retardo usleep o similar al procesar un cambio de título
