    ('binary' encoding is not supported, stored as-is) Hi,

    I describe a new way to exploit heap-based buffer overflows in the following paper:

    http://www.packetstormsecurity.com/papers/bypass/bypassing-win-heap-protections.pdf

    Basically, one can use critical section related linking structures stored on the process’s default heap to produce a n*4-byte overwrite. Gaining control is another problem, only memory overwrite is discussed in the paper.
