The maintainers of the PuTTY SSH client, which is the basis for the 
TortoisePlink SSH client included with TortoiseCVS, have announced a 
serious security hole (see 
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/).

An updated version of TortoisePlink, which fixes the security hole, is 
included in TortoiseCVS 1.8.0 RC 3. If you do not desire to use this 
version of TortoiseCVS, but you do wish to close the security hole, I 
recommend that you install 1.8.0 RC 3, copy the TortoisePlink.exe file 
somewhere safe, reinstall your old TortoiseCVS version, and finally copy 
the new TortoisePlink.exe into the TortoiseCVS folder, overwriting the 
old version.
