Answer:

Thread leak is when application does not release references of the thread object and those threads do not get garbage collected.

To overcome this problem we can do the following

1. By maintaining a log for all entry and exit point of thread.
2. Check how the new thread is created and how it is closed.
3. By using exception handling etc.
