  notepad++ buffer overflow

Subject:notepad++[v4.1]: (win32) ruby file processing buffer overflow exploit.

...i took a look at the new notepad++, and noticed this, i'm not sure how
long it has been there or if it was recently added to the code... either
way here is a POC for it.

 *                                                                         *
 * compile:                                                                *
 *  gcc xnotepad++.c -o xnotepad++                                         *
 *                                                                         *
 * syntax:                                                                 *
 *  ./xnotepad++ [-xe] -f filename                                         *

 *                                                                         *
 * notepad++ contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the way it        *
 * processes ruby source files (.rb).  this exploit works by overwriting   *
 * EAX which gets called during processing as "CALL DWORD EAX+4", so EAX   *
 * needs to point to a user-controlled area that contains another address  *
 * which will then become EIP.  once EIP is controlled it simply jumps a   *
 * little bit forward in memory to the nop sled/shellcode.                 *
 *                                                                         *
 * as of now, this will only be successful if the created file is opened   *
 * via "Edit with notepad++" on the file, not when opening a file from     *
 * inside notepad++.  this is mainly to prove this vulnerability can be    *
 * exploited.                                                              *
 *                                                                         *
 * exploitation method(file.rb):                                           *
 *  [FILLERx32][NEW_EAX][FILLERx128]\r\n                                   *
 *  # [NEW_EIPx1000][NOPSx4000][SHELLCODE]\r\n                             *
 *                                                                         *
 * (i was a bit liberal with the new_eip/shellcode space, can pretty much  *
 * make it as large as you like.  also, addresses with null-bytes are      *
 * allowed)                                                                *
 *                                                                         *
 * if successful, notepad++ will spawn calc.exe by default, swap the       *
 * shellcode out if you want a different result.  this was tested on winXP *
 * SP2 ENG, if it is something else the EAX/EIP addresses may need to be   *
 * fished out of memory in your favorite debugger.                         *
