Exploitability Classification: PROBABLY_EXPLOITABLE
Recommended Bug Title: Probably Exploitable - Read Access Violation on Block Data Move starting at msvcrt!memcpy+0x0000000000000250 (Hash=0xb1db8cd3.0x508907b2)

This is a read access violation in a block data move, and is therefore classified as probably exploitable.
