apparently, according to http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?a ... 9&t=476942 this http://www.milw0rm.com/exploits/1720 is the exploit used
The script attacks IPB up to v 2.1.5 but it could be improved to attack 2.1.6 also. The perl script can be locally executed (you just need a Perl environment in your system): it adds a post with a user account specifically added to begin the attack; the script then adds a new post with strange characters and finally it enables a remote shell. The hacker that attacked us placed a WGET command to upload a web shell (r57shell.php) that gives full control over the server, so he was able to modify the index.php file of any web application he found on our server.

Seems I've found a solution but I dunno,

Last EDIT: FLIPPIN HECK!!!!! it seems they could do more than just put it on the forums, but they could send out some mass e-mail with a link in it according to http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=121808
Maybe it would be a good idea to switch to SMF or PhpBB as muc as I hate those two systems...
Ok another edit:::
