http://www.securiteam.com/unixfocus/5NP0O2KDPI.html this is an example of a heap overflow discovered sometime ago in QT. I found this to be very interesting, I was thinking that we could potentially utilize this method in TeamSpeak 3 until I remembered that we're looking at a divide-by-zero overflow. If you are unfamiliar with overflows, you should read this and this. The best case scenario, we find a buffer overflow.
The issue found here is documented as CWE-369, Divide By Zero. This is more of an error than an overflow. I may have recently found a heap overflow though (good), I'm going to do some testing.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow said:In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is an anomaly where a program, while writing data to a buffer, overruns the buffer's boundary and overwrites adjacent memory locations. This is a special case of the violation of memory safety.
