Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Race Condition due to the server's lack of thread safety. An attacker can cause the FTP service to crash by sending anomalous data from a remote network. This crash makes the service unavailable, affecting all users and processes dependent on it for file transfers. Repeated crashes may also compromise the stability of the underlying system, potentially leading to resource leaks or impacting other services.
