* SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_9.2p1 Exploit

* -------------------------------------------------------------------------

*

* Exploit Title : SSH Exploit for CVE-2024-6387 (regreSSHion)

* Author : 7etsuo

* Date : 2024-07-01

*

* Description:

* Targets a signal handler race condition in OpenSSH's

* server (sshd) on glibc-based Linux systems. It exploits a vulnerability

* where the SIGALRM handler calls async-signal-unsafe functions, leading

* to rce as root.

*

* Notes:

* 1. Shellcode : Replace placeholder with actual payload.

* 2. GLIBC_BASES : Needs adjustment for specific target systems.

* 3. Timing parameters: Fine-tune based on target system responsiveness.

* 4. Heap layout : Requires tweaking for different OpenSSH versions.

* 5. File structure offsets: Verify for the specific glibc version.
