Category:	Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2005:747
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2005:747. Slocate is a security-enhanced version of locate. Like locate, slocate searches through a nightly-updated central database for files that match a given pattern. A bug was found in the way slocate processes very long paths. A local user could create a carefully crafted directory structure that would prevent updatedb from completing its file system scan, resulting in an incomplete slocate database. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project has assigned the name CVE-2005-2499 to this issue. Users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which includes a backported patch to resolve this issue. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-747.html Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 2.1
