How could a user level script vulnerability allow root access unless the server itself was behind in security updates?

Err not to take away from the value and importance of your security vulnerability notice.

I just don't see how Epoch's script alone, running at a normal user level would allow privledge escalation (to root) on a well secured/updated server.
