Description
===========
Immunity Debugger V1.73 contains a  buffer overflow vulnerability in its HTTP 
update mechanism

=================
Technical Details
=================
It is possible to spoof communications between the Immunity Debugger and its 
update servers at immunityinc.com.
By sending a specially crafted large HTTP reply it is possible to cause the 
Immunity Debugger to trigger the buffer overflow:

00487161  EB 02           JMP SHORT Immunity.00487165
00487163  8BD8            MOV EBX,EAX
00487165  8B83 2C060000   MOV EAX,DWORD PTR DS:[EBX+62C]    <--- crash occurs 
here, EBX = 0x42424242
0048716B  85C0            TEST EAX,EAX

Care should be taken if using the Immunity Debugger as your JIT debugger not to 
get into a crash/debug/crash loop!
Various CPU Registers are overwritten, which could potentially result in remote 
code execution.
