i don't actually think apache could be root-exploited directly, since it has no suid-bit and does usually not run as root. This was why i did not react to it.

Maybe the author wanted to report a new worm that first exploits apache and then does a local-root-exploit.

But i don't believe a direct apache-root-exploit exists, unless apache is misconfigured or using suexec or kind of that.
