Here is the scenario: There is a buffer located on the heap beginning at address A. I can overwrite any dword-aligned memory location between A and A+S, where S is the size of exploit file divided by 2. This is the tricky part - the value written must be in the range from 0 to FFFF. This is not a typical heap overflow - in orther to overwrite location X I don't need to overwrite all locations between A and X, I can overwrite just X. Multiple locations can be overwritten with different values. Target platform is Windows XP. Any ideas how to exploit this?
