PuTTY through 0.75 proceeds with establishing an SSH session even if it
has never sent a substantive authentication response. This makes it
easier for an attacker-controlled SSH server to present a later spoofed
authentication prompt (that the attacker can use to capture credential
data, and use that data for purposes that are undesired by the client
user).
