Changes

| Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon uses zlib compression for most of its save files, possibly due to the save files being larger than its predecessor, Gates to Infinity. When a save file is being prepared to be loaded and read from, only a 0x32000 large buffer is allocated for file reading, and a 0x3e800-large buffer for decompression is also allocated before the file is read. However, the game does not limit the size of the file read to this allocation bound, allowing for the file to overflow into the linear memory heap and into the next allocation. Since Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon stores allocation memchunks directly before the allocation, overwriting the next memchunk with a corrupted one allows for arbitrary writes of linear heap pointers when the next buffer is allocated or arbitrary writes of any pointer within writable memory when the corrupted buffer is freed.
