A framework-wide vulnerability in Sliver C2 allows for an unauthenticated, remote Denial of Service by triggering Uncontrolled Memory Allocation (CWE-789 / CWE-400), leading to a process-wide Out-of-Memory (OOM) crash.

References: Feedly Tenable

Reproduction Steps:

1. Extract Credentials: Obtain the mTLS certificate and private key from a captured or generated Sliver implant.

2. Edit PoC: Open mtls_poc.go and replace the placeholder values in the var block (c2Endpoint, clientCertPEM, clientKeyPEM) with your extracted credentials.

Run the exploit against Sliver server:

go run mtls_poc.go

The exploit abuses the socketReadEnvelope function by sending a malicious uint32 length prefix (up to 2 GiB). Because the server allocates this memory before verifying the Ed25519 signature, and yamux allows up to 128 concurrent streams, an attacker can force the server to attempt ~256 GiB of allocations near-instantaneously.

The Linux kernel's OOM killer will intervene once system memory is exhausted, resulting in a SIGKILL of the sliver-server process.

You can verify this by checking the server status:

sudo dmesg | grep -i "kill"
systemctl status sliver
