Does anyone know of any details of the exploited Solaris
vulnerability? 

An old and well known bug...to which there was a patch months before
he exploited them.  It was an exploit in rpc.statd, thus only affecting
unprotected and unpatched systems.  No big technical feat, just something
that thousands of script-kiddies do every day.
