Killer{R} assumes the problem is in strcpy(), because it should not be
used for overlapping buffers, but at least ANSI implementation of strcpy
from Visual C should be safe in this very situation (copying to lower
addresses). May be code is different for Windows XP or vulnerability is
later in code.
We discovered this bug some time ago and were preparing an advisory when it was publicly disclosed. Since the exploit is already public, here's my analysis of the vulnerability: http://www.determina.com/security.research/vulnerabilities/csrss-harderror.html It's a double free bug that leads to arbitrary code execution in the CSRSS process.
