SecureCRT

Changes:

• The performance of keyword highlighting has been improved to be as fast as and in many cases, much faster, than version 8.5
• SecureCRT now handles the Xterm "paste bracketing" escape sequence so that indentation is correct when indented text is pasted into an editor
• Added an optional "hide output" parameter to the Session Object Lock() method
• SSH2: When doing public-key authentication, if there is no corresponding private-key file without an extension and there is a private-key file with a .ppk extension, it will be used
• Mac/Linux: When ENTER is pressed on a folder in the Session Manager, it is expanded or collapsed. Previously, all the sessions in the folder were connected

Vulnerability addressed:

• TFTP: The TFTP server is off by default. However, when the TFTP server was running, SecureCRT was vulnerable to a directory traversal attack that allowed access to arbitrary files on the local system

Bug fixes:

• When running a version of the Midnight Commander file manager that supports extended coordinate mouse clicks, mouse operations from within SecureCRT did not work
• When multiple screens were created using the "screen" utility, the scrollback from one screen could end up in the scrollback for a different screen
• When multiple screens were created using the "screen" utility, the man page output went to the scrollback buffer
• In the Manage Agent Keys dialog, the columns expanded every time the dialog opened, which eventually caused all column headers to disappear
• If two sessions were connected and then a session was sent to a new window, if the Hex view was opened, no data was displayed in the Hex view for the session
• The items "MENU_TOGGLE_KEYWORD_HIGHLIGHTING" and "MENU_CONNECT_LOCAL_SHELL" were not recognized when they were included in a custom .MNU file
• Mac/Linux: In the Session Manager, when attempting to give a folder a name that conflicted with an existing folder name, the original or default name was used, instead of allowing a different name to be specified
