Description

This module exploits a heap overflow in the Dell OpenManage
Web Server (omws32.exe), versions 3.2-3.7.1. The vulnerability
exists due to a boundary error within the handling of POST requests,
where the application input is set to an overly long file name.
This module will crash the web server, however it is likely exploitable
under certain conditions.
