What I would like to know over here is that :
a : Which pluggin actually identified these holes ?

It looks like the miscflood.nasl (plugin #10735). Depending on what your report output type is, you can see which plugin identified which hole.

b : What is the kind of data that was pumped in to crash the port , i mean
is it some random data or some specific Packets which are being sent  ?

miscflood.nasl sends a string of 65535 X's 10 times to the open port and then checks if the service that was listening is still responsive.
