Notes:

- Reproduces on Windows Server 2003 and Windows 7

- The crash occurs due to a memcpy with an invalid source buffer.

- The invalid source buffer is actually indicative of an invalid size
being used in a pointer calculation at 3126A360 (wwlib.dll
12.0.6707.5000). This invalid size can also be seen in ecx at the time
of access violation.

- The large size parameter can result in a stack-based buffer overflow.

- Alternatively, if the copy operation succeeds (by using a size value
large enough to result in an out-of-bounds source buffer, but not so
large to cause an access violation during copy), then it is also
possible to get an arbitrary free from later usage of controlled
pointers in the destination buffer.

- The crashing test case was created using a chunk reordering
strategy, and does not cleanly minimize (106 bit change from original
file).
