Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________
Package name: slocate
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:004
Date: January 23rd, 2004
Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1
______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
A vulnerability was discovered by Patrik Hornik in slocate versions up
to and including 2.7 where a carefully crafted database could overflow
a heap-based buffer. This could be exploited by a local user to gain
privileges of the 'slocate' group. The updated packages contain a
patch from Kevin Lindsay that causes slocate to drop privileges before
reading a user-supplied database.
