/* Local exploit for the old sendmail vuln found by lcamtuf in 8.12.9 and below. 
* by Gyan Chawdhary, gunnu45@hotmail.com
*
* Greets
* sorbo: all the credits go to him for the ideas regarding the exploitation..
* lcamtuf: for finding such a subtle bug ..
* dvorak, scut, gera ..
*
* Theory
* The problem lies in the prescan function. When returnnull is called it does
* not do a check to see if p > addr. This results into p pointing past the
* array by one byte into the size field tag of the next malloc chunk
* ( due to the fact that bufp is allocated in the heap. This value is assigned
* to *delimptr which is used by invalidaddr in parseaddr. The invalidaddr
* function checks for addresses containing characters used by macros. During
* the parsing of the addrs by invalidaddr, it also checks for illegal chars
* in the adress itself, and if found they are replaced with
* BAD_CHAR_REPLACEMENT (depending on the size field of the allocation of our
* buffer) which is defined as "?" (hex 3f) Due to the offbyone overflow in
* prescan, invalidaddr modifies our chunk value which is later used by free()
* when sm_free(bufp) is called, in return making sendmail vomit !!!!.
* Read the code for details.
