| Title | freesshd freesshd 1.0.9 Denial of Service |

| Description | The technique works well on Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 and 3 (English).
For this exploration I tried several strategies to increase reliability and performance:
The server did not correctly handle the request with large amounts of data sent, causing the SSH server to fail.
A 20,000 byte request for the web server to process crashes the server while receiving and processing data, causing denial of service conditions.
Successful exploitation of these issues allows remote attackers to crash the affected server, denying service to legitimate users. |
