PACKAGE   : slocate

SUMMARY   : Arbitrary code execution with 'slocate' privileges

DATE      : 2001-01-04 16:18:00

ID        : CLA-2001:369

RELEVANT

RELEASES  : 4.0, 4.0es, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, prg gráficos, ecommerce, 5.1, 6.0



- -------------------------------------------------------------------------



DESCRIPTION

 "slocate" is a program which catalogues existing files and allows for

 a quick lookup later.

 There is a vulnerability present in previous versions. By giving it a

 crafted database, an attacker could make slocate execute arbitrary

 code as the "slocate" user.

 Additionally, a bug which caused slocate to segfault with large

 pathnames was fixed.





SOLUTION

 All users should upgrade the slocate package.



 Thanks to zorgon, Michel Kaempf and the author, Kevin Lindsay.
