Actually, Esa Etelavuori wrote a paper on exploiting kernel buffer
overflows in FreeBSD... which is similar, I assume, to what they did. In
this paper he discusses using kernel bugs for exploitation for breaking
out of jail(2). Pretty neat stuff :-)
Im not sure if the paper is being held somewhere offically, but a copy of
it was sent to bugtraq the end of december. You can find it at:

Enjoy.
