Is it possible to make exploits out of crashers?

It depends which ones. If it's something like a buffer overflow or a memory management problem, it may be possible to exploit it through carefully crafted input (in order to make the interpreter execute arbitrary machine code). A security expert would be able to shed more light on this.

Antoine.
