hi, jim. the privilege-escalation bug (if that was indeed the one they exploited) was 
code-specific in phpBB2.0.0 and has nothing to do with the RH kernel, if what you mean 
by "system" is the kernel/OS. though you could still say they "exploited the system" 
if you look at their (in)security as a whole.
