Re: A 3 a.m. Riddle

Can you do any many "inc" as you want? I think there are a lot of options if
you use this against the heap. For example, change
Heap->Lookaside[x].ListHead.Flink to point into middle of existing chunk
(since heap base is reliable except for Vista), increment the ListHead
enough to point into the middle of chunk data, so that you can setup a fake
chunk and wait until it's allocated, then it will cause a 4-byte overwrite
without safe unlink check (lookaside has no safe unlink issues). You could
also use "inc" to change heap flags, that may also be interesting
