Was it a 0-day? The purported linode chatlog makes it sound like poorly configured CF:

--------- 05:43 < ryan||> Well linode also had terribly configured coldfusion

05:57 < ryann> <cfif ListLen(cgi.script_name, "/") gt 2 AND ListGetAt(cgi.script_name, 2, "/") eq "linode" AND NOT ListFind("index.cfm,linode_edit.cfm,linode_resize.cfm,label.cfm,cancel.cfm,dc_choose.cfm,su.cfm,pastdue.cfm", ListGetAt(cgi.script_name, 3, "/"))> <cfinclude template="/members/linode/common/dsp_topNav.cfm"> </cfif>

05:57 < ryann> this code

05:57 < ryann> It's so dirty I feel bad reading it



I've never used CF so someone correct me if I'm wrong but I just read that code as rendering the navigation bar in the members area?

Also if you check out my reply below I've C&P'ed the chat logs where he claims it is a zero day:

Plus another commenter has linked to a security advisory for exploits in CF that was issued a few days ago.
