LS>Heap spraying implies running code in the heap, JA>Actually, um.. no.. it doesn't My understanding of heap spraying comes from http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/638: "...SkyLined's heap spraying techqniue (http://sf-freedom.blogspot.com/2006/07/heap-spraying-internet-exploiter .html) (the concept of this technique is that you inject the nop + shellcode into the heap memory and use some method to trick the eip jump into that heap ..." Sure sounds like running code in the heap to me.
"Heap spraying" is filling the heap with controllable data... This is simply allocating things in the heap. NOT running code. You are trying to say that once you jump into that code via some exploit (NOT part of the heap spraying technique itself) THEN you are "running code in the heap".
