+ Denial of service
Description
+ The Twisted SSH client and server implementation prior to 22.2.0 naively accepted an infinite amount of data for the peer's SSH version identifier.
+
+ A malicious peer can trivially craft a request that uses all available memory and crash the server, resulting in denial of service. The attack is as simple as nc -rv localhost 22 < /dev/zero.
