Description:
Jeremy Brown has discovered two vulnerabilities in freeSSHd, which can be exploited by malicious users to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).

The vulnerabilities are caused due to NULL-pointer dereference errors in the processing of the SFTP "rename" and "realpath" commands. These can be exploited to crash a freeSSHd server via an overly long string passed as an argument to the affected commands.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.2.1.14. Other versions may also be affected.
