Description:
Luigi Auriemma has discovered a vulnerability in SurgeFTP, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to a NULL pointer dereference error when parsing HTTP headers. This can be exploited to crash an affected server via an overly large "Content-Length" HTTP header sent to the administration web server (by default port 7021/TCP).
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 2.3a1. Other versions may also be affected.
