	Overflow and Denial Of Service by creating files in arbitrary
	locations

Short version:
I looked at the "Length:999999999..." problem: It doesn't seem exploitable.

Details:
The sig2dat:// url causes Internet Explorer to run ksig.exe, ksig.exe is terminated because of an unhandled exception 0x0eedfade that is raised from 0x00403B69 in my ksig.exe. Googling for this exception will not report anything very usefull, other than that it is mentioned only in relation with Delphi programs.

My impression of the problem:
So I ran it through a debugger and I think that the number "99999999..." is run through a routine that converts it from string to an integer. Since it will not fit into a 32-bit integer, this function throws an exception to report this error. This exception is not caught by ksig.exe, terminating the program. I'm not 100% sure since I only looked at the code for about half an hour and I have no Delphi compiler installed to test if any of the default string2int routines throw exception 0x0eedfade.

Feel free to prove me wrong.

Cheers,

> Kazaa is currently the world?s most common P2P file sharing application.
> When installing Kazaa a new protocol is installed named ?sig2dat?.
> This protocol contain an integer overflow vulnerability which may cause
> a crash and may allow remote execution of code. There is another
> vulnerability in the ?File:? parameter which allows creating files in
> arbitrary locations and committing Denial Of Service.

> The sig2dat protocol syntax:
> Sig2dat://<filename>%7c<file length in bytes>< file length in
> kilobytes>%7c<HASH>%7c
> 
> The vulnerable parameter is the file ?Length? (in bytes). Specifying a
> numeric value bigger than a 999999999.

> Successful exploiting of this vulnerability may allow remote code execution.

> There is another vulnerability in the ?File:? parameter. It allows creation
