Sorry, didn't see the other messages. So it get local access thru
guest/guest and then gained root with a local exploit. Any ideas what it
is?

 The kernel could be save. But with weak passwords, you are toast. Any
automated tool would test guest/guest.

Hello Yaakov,

This system was a pure debian woody none-production one with all
services disabled - just ssh was left open in order to see for what
purpose the scan was! Yes, there was a guest account with a weak
passwort (guest) on it! 
And yes, they logged in and became root in no time. But I thought the
kernel compiled from the latest debian woody kernel-source could be
considered to be save. But I was wrong! So I posted the tools used by
the attackers to this list and also to the debian security team.

Richard
