 _______________________________________________________________________

 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.
