Denial of Service via FTP

Simulating a malicious server, it was possible to crash the application after preparing a response to the listing of modified content for a large number of characters.

I used a Kali machine to execute a poc and simulate a server.

Version of WinSCP: 5.17.8
Version of OS: Windows 7 SP1 x64

Re: Denial of Service via FTP

Thanks for your report. Though I cannot reproduce the problem. I get the listing in GUI without a crash.
I have sent you an email with a debug version of WinSCP to the address you have used to register on this forum.

I was able to crash with the debug version too. Anyway, I'm attaching the log that I got after the crash. Note that if you execute in Windows 10, won't crash. Hope that helps you.

For the crash you need execute in Windows 7.

Thanks. I'm able to reproduce the problem on Windows 7. I'll look at it and I'll come back to you.
