Description

This module exploits a stack-based buffer overflow in the Solaris PAM
library's username parsing code, as used by the SunSSH daemon when the
keyboard-interactive authentication method is specified.

Tested against SunSSH 1.1.5 on Solaris 10u11 1/13 (x86) in VirtualBox,
VMware Fusion, and VMware Player. Bare metal untested. Your addresses
may vary.
