Presented at SyScan 2006 by

In this presentation we are going to describe a kind of vulnerability that is known in the literature but also poor documented.In fact, the problem that is going to be analyzed can be reduced to a memory adjacent overwriting attack but usually it is obtained exploiting the last null byte of a buffer, hence we are going to show that the same result is still possible writing behind a buffer, under certain conditions.
