Need help w/ Dell Windows security issue

[Curt Wilson <netw3_security () hushmail com>]

I've found a DoS vulnerability in a Dell openmanage application on a Win2K 
advanced server, and I am trying to discover if more can be done with the 
issue. I have little experience in working with vulnerabilities at the 
assembly and stack level.

Basically, a simple telnet to the open TCP port causes a particular 
service to die.  

"an operation was attempted on something that is not a socket"
"the exception generated was c0000005 at address 00403234 {<nosymbols>}"

Dr. Watson - exception number: c0000005 (access violation)

FAULT -> 00403224 8b07    mov   eax,[edi]         ds:00000000=????????

(stack dump, etc. snipped for public posting)

I attempted to send many 0x41 chars, and then checked the various 
registers in the state dump (dr watson log file) but it does not appear 
that my data is getting through. Something about the connection itself 
breaks the service, whether it's a raw connection or a connection through 
telnet. I'm trying to isolate what the application actually expects and 
hope to have more information soon.

For all I know, nothing else can be done. However, given that my skills in 
this particular area are in their early formative stage, maybe someone 
else can provide some insight.

If anyone is kind enough to help analyze this issue further, please drop 
me a line. If anyone else is running Dell servers with any of the 
OpenManage applications for windows, please let me know.

Please direct any flames to /dev/null
