Well this seemed like as good a place as any to ask this, so here
goes. Is it possible to exploit a single NUL byte write in XP SP2? I
can write the NUL byte anywhere but for the life of me I can't think
of any way to get code execution from this. As far as I can tell to
exploit this I would need to be able to get data I control within 255
bytes of an address that's called and then zero out the LSB and that
just doesn't seem possible in Windows.

Anyone have a better (and by better I mean even remotely possible ;) )
way to exploit this?

Cheers,
nnp
