A documentary called "Warlords: Hitler vs Stalin" made this claim, but Wikipedia doesn't seem to mention this.

Wikipedia article on the Winter War
The 3 top Soviet officers (apart from Stalin):
Kliment Voroshilov: died 2 December 1969.
Semyon Timoshenko: died 31 March 1970.
Kirill Meretskov: died 30 December 1968.
Since Stalin died 5 March 1953, it is rather obvious that there were officers (at least three of them!) involved in the Winter War who were not executed (Voroshilov was sacked from his post, though).
The claim is false.
