"Updated slocate packages are now available that fix vulnerabilities
allowing a local user to gain 'slocate' group privileges.

Slocate is a security-enhanced version of locate, designed to find
files on a system via a central database.

Patrik Hornik discovered a vulnerability in Slocate versions up to and
including 2.7 where a carefully crafted database could overflow a
heap-based buffer. A local user could exploit this vulnerability to
gain 'slocate' group privileges and then read the entire slocate
database. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-0848 to this issue.

Users of Slocate should upgrade to these erratum packages, which
contain Slocate version 2.7 with the addition of a patch from Kevin
Lindsay that causes slocate to drop privileges before reading a
user-supplied database.

For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 these packages also fix a buffer
overflow that affected unpatched versions of Slocate prior to 2.7.
This vulnerability could also allow a local user to gain 'slocate'
group privileges. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2003-0056 to this issue."
