How it was found

Overwriting the 'new' method of the NoMethodError singleton to not return an exception object leads to memory corruption and possibly arbitrary code execution.

Running the following code under the mruny-engine sandbox script results in a native crash: NoMethodError.define_singleton_method(:new) do "waat" end Object.q

Attached is a patch to mitigate the issue.
