[![Docker Pulls](https://img.shields.io/docker/pulls/vulnerables/cve-2016-6515.svg?style=plastic)](https://hub.docker.com/r/vulnerables/cve-2016-6515/)

Before 7.3 OpenSSH does not limit password lengths for password authentication, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crypt CPU consumption) via a long string. This bug resides in ```auth-passwd.c``` in ```auth_password``` function.

Attackers can exploit this issue to cause the application to enter an infinite loop and consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in denial-of-service conditions. 

### Vulnerable environment

To setup up an vulnerable invironment you just use the docker image

    docker run --rm -it -p 8022:22 vulnerables/cve-2016-6515

### Exploit

To use this exploit you will need ```nodejs``` installed, clone this repo and install the dependencies with:

    npm install

Then you can run the exploit

    ./exploit.js -h HOST -p PORT -u USER

If you run the image with the command described above, you can exploit it with

    ./exploit.js -h localhost -p 8022 -u root -i 100
