Subject: [PATCH] Determine appropriate salt for invalid users.
When sshd is processing a non-PAM login for a non-existent user it uses
the string from the fakepw structure as the salt for crypt(3)ing the
password supplied by the client. That string has a Blowfish prefix, so on
systems that don't understand that crypt will fail fast due to an invalid
salt, and even on those that do it may have significantly different timing
from the hash methods used for real accounts (eg sha512). This allows
user enumeration by, eg, sending large password strings. This was noted
by EddieEzra.Harari at verint.com (CVE-2016-6210).
To mitigate, use the same hash algorithm that root uses for hashing
passwords for users that do not exist on the system. ok djm@

Subject: [PATCH] Mitigate timing of disallowed users PAM logins.
When sshd decides to not allow a login (eg PermitRootLogin=no) and
it's using PAM, it sends a fake password to PAM so that the timing for
the failure is not noticeably different whether or not the password
is correct. This behaviour can be detected by sending a very long
password string which is slower to hash than the fake password.
Mitigate by constructing an invalid password that is the same length
as the one from the client and thus takes the same time to hash.
