== first comment ==
one comment I have for this page is that it seems to imply that the only way to exploit a heap overflow is by corrupting malloc meta data, in reality any linked list will do for the pointer exchange, its often possible to exploit heap overflows even without being able to overwrite any linked list pointers by corrupting other data such as function pointers or specific data structure fields...I've written more than my share of heap overflow exploits and in my experience overwriting malloc meta data isn't even the easiest way for most bugs... --[[User:Abaddon314159|Michael Lynn]]
: I put the above into a section -- it only looked like it was part of the header because it predated sections and the header. [[User:Markbassett|Markbassett]] ([[User talk:Markbassett|talk]]) 16:40, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
