===============
1) Introduction
===============

W32Dasm is a cool and famous disassembler/debugger developed by URSoft.
It has tons of functions and, also if it is no longer supported by long
time, it is still widely used by a lot of people.

2) Bug
======

The program uses the wsprintf() function to copy the name of the
imported/exported functions of the analyzed file into a buffer of only
256 bytes, with the possibility for an attacker to execute malicious
code.

===========
3) The Code
===========

Exploiting the bug is very simple, all you need is to get an executable
and searching for the name of an imported or exported function to
modify.

I have written a very simple proof-of-concept that overwrites the
return address with 0xdeadc0de:

No fix.
This program is no longer supported.
