Loading vulnerability…
A vulnerability in the nfsd implementation of the FreeBSD 6.0 kernel allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service condition by sending a specially crafted NFS mount request. This issue was demonstrated using the ProtoVer NFS test suite, indicating improper input validation or handling of NFS protocol messages in the kernel's nfsd component.

This repository contains a single Metasploit auxiliary module targeting a denial of service vulnerability in FreeBSD 6.0's NFS daemon (nfsd). The module, written in Ruby, is located at 'modules/auxiliary/dos/freebsd/nfsd/nfsd_mount.rb'. It implements a network-based attack by sending a specially-crafted NFS Mount request to TCP port 2049 of a vulnerable FreeBSD 6.0 host. Successful exploitation results in a kernel panic, effectively crashing the target system and causing a denial of service. The module is operational and does not provide a customizable payload, but the crafted packet is hardcoded within the exploit. The exploit specifically targets CVE-2006-0900 and is referenced in BID 16838 and OSVDB 23511. No detection or post-exploitation features are present; the sole purpose is to crash the target system.
