Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2004:004 (slocate)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to slocate announced via advisory MDKSA-2004:004. 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. Affected versions: 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2004:004 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2003-0848 Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 4.6
