I'm in a similar position. I new to this concept. I'm trying to figure out
how you get a buffer overrun to execute code. How would code be inserted?
What signs would I look for to identify if code could be inserted?

The Riched20.dll has references to the ADVAPI32.DLL, USER32.DLL,
KERNEL32.DLL etc.. Would it be possible to use this overflow to pass
commands to these dll's?

How would you write the command string... I've got a lot learn :-(  Time to
buy the 'Dummies guide to buffer overflows'.

I light of the latest windows vulnerability in wordpad, it would be great if
in this forum we could develop an exploit for it.  As of now details of the
vulnerability are on the net, however no exploit exists yet.  This would be
an excellent opportunity for all of us who don't really know how to code
exploits (yet) to see all the details of developing one.  Anyone else like
this idea?!?
