Subject: Exploiting overflow of heap-based buffers

Hi all!

Are there any documented cases of exploits of overflows on the heap
(e.g. overflow of malloc()'d buffer?)

Has anyone played with this much? It's an interesting topic....

Cheers
Chris

PS. I seem to have a vague memory of a paper regarding this topic. Am I
dreaming?
