i tried to recreate this in code. But I found format string and arguments to prontf() were passed to printf() not on the stack but in CPU registers. i just tried to pass 2 format strings and 2 integers, and they all were passed in registers. So i guess it depends on compiler and architecture if this technique can be exploited for stack attack
