Description: Tan Chew Keong has reported a vulnerability in SurgeFTP, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the handling of the non-standard "LEAK" FTP command used for debugging purposes. This can be exploited to cause a vulnerable service to run out of file handlers and potentially crash.
Successful exploitation does not require authentication.
