The attacker uploaded a shell script to /var/www/webmail/tmp/
I have no idea how it is done, does webmail has flaw?

Who is the 'owner' of the script in the tmp folder? Is it 'apache'? If it is, then most likely some script on your server was exploited. Check to see if you have the latest versions of phpMyAdmin, Mambo, Joomla, Coppermine, Webcalendar, Awstats, Horde etc. etc.

If the owner of the script is 'root' (or maybe some other user) then you may have a bigger problem.
