I noticed from your installed list the kernel you have is:

kernel-source- 2.4.19-4.woody Linux kernel source for version 2.4.19

In the tools you posted about earlier, in xpl.tar.gz is the program "p4", 
this is a compiled version of:

http://www.isec.pl/vulnerabilities/isec-0014-mremap-unmap.txt

I expect this is how the privilage escallation was done from guest to 
root.  I've seen this very thing used on another system.  The kernel you 
have on that woody machine is within the range of exploitable kernels.
