Apple Mac OSX 10.4.8 - AppleTalk 'ATPsndrsp()' Heap Buffer Overflow (PoC)

 * Shout outs to: icer, kf, ilja, hd, et al.

 * free feedback samples for public consumption:
 *
 * "the panic() function takes a string for the reason the panic
 * occurred. As you can see from the above, the reason us due to the
 * fact the buffer size is absurd. The system caught this absurdity and
 * handled it by calling panic().
 * In other words, not capable of executing arbitrary code."
 * -- Rosyna Keller, talking about allocbuf() failing due to allocation
 * of a negative size buffer, caused by a simple integer overflow.
 *
 *
 * ">LMH claims #10 leads to "potential arbitrary code execution." That's
 * >not good enough where I come from. Either the arbitrary code executes,
 * >or it doesn't. I may be talking thru my elbow, but I suggest the
 * >absence of a working example of "arbitrary code execution" is that we
 * >have caused a kernel panic, and stack based execution ceases."
