The GingerBreak APK is a wrapper around the newly released GingerBreak exploit (credits to The Android Exploid Crew), which is meant to attain root access on GingerBread. This specific exploit may work on various Froyo and Honeycomb versions as well.

The original exploit can be found here.

For further details, visit the GingerBreak thread on XDA-Developers.com. Also includes the source to the modifications I made to the original exploit to make it work from an APK and fix some other issues.
