Looks like someone _attempted_ to exploit the rpc.sadmind overflow
bug on your system - see http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/866.  Those
log entries indicate that at least those attempts failed, probably
due to the machine code in the buffer being misaligned, causing the
Bus Error.  It's possible that further attempts were successful, it's
also possible they failed.  I would assume they were successful
without knowing much more, and that they compromised root on your
system.
