Possible memory leak in WinSCP 6.7 during large file uploads to Amazon S3
Hello,
I would like to report a possible memory management issue in WinSCP 6.7 ((Build 17845 2026-10-14) on Windows 11 Pro 25H2 64-bit when uploading large files (about 15 GB/file x 70 files = 1,050 GB) to Amazon S3.
After upgrading from WinSCP 6.5.7 to 6.7, I started experiencing several memory-related errors during S3 operations. These problems did not occur with version 6.5.7.
Is this a known issue in WinSCP 6.7?
Have there been any changes in memory management or SSL/TLS handling that could explain these symptoms?
Thank you for your assistance.

- SSL handshake failure during file uploads
When uploading a large file to Amazon S3, the transfer initially proceeds but eventually fails with the following error:
SSL handshake failed: SSL error: malloc failure
- Out of memory during file list retrieval
An Out of memory error also occurs while WinSCP is retrieving or preparing the list of files to transfer, even when uploading only a single large file.
When using WinSCP 6.5.7, the upload completed successfully without any of the errors described above.
