CVE Descriptions
The administration web interface in NetWin SurgeFTP 2.3a2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a large integer in the Content-Length HTTP header, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference when memory allocation fails.
CVE Informations
Related Weaknesses
| Weakness Name | Source | |
|---|---|---|
| Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data. |

EPSS
EPSS is a scoring model that predicts the likelihood of a vulnerability being exploited.
EPSS Score
The EPSS model produces a probability score between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%). The higher the score, the greater the probability that a vulnerability will be exploited.
EPSS Percentile
The percentile is used to rank CVE according to their EPSS score. For example, a CVE in the 95th percentile according to its EPSS score is more likely to be exploited than 95% of other CVE. Thus, the percentile is used to compare the EPSS score of a CVE with that of other CVE.

SurgeFTP is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to perform adequately boundary checks on user-supplied input.
Exploiting this issue will cause the server to copy data to a NULL pointer, which will crash the server, denying access to legitimate users.
SurgeFTP 2.3a2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
