Thats what they said initially concerning a previous exploit back during the summer, yet it later was revealed that the routines for checking input were faulty, allowing arbitrary SQL statement execution.
I'm skeptical of them passing the buck to another software application - if their sysadmin knew what he was doing, they wouldn't be running anything else on a high-traffic production server, especially one that has been targeted frequently.
