If it's not already, it should be. It's not that difficult to punch
an httpd version into netcraft.com and wait for a list of vulnerable
servers. Meaning, if one does a search for an ancient version of
Apache, there's a decent chance that the server is vulnerable.

On the other hand, I know Attrition's aget uses netcraft.com. Did
your friend make Attrition's list of defaced pages?

If your friend didn't update, then there's a lot of holes.

will answer all. It depends on what software was installed/running.
There's remote root holes (assuming that you didn't already check
this).
