Problem Description The slocate command suffers from two command line buffer overflows. 2. Vulnerable Supported Versions System Package ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenLinux 3.1.1 Server prior to slocate-2.6-3.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1.1 Workstation prior to slocate-2.6-3.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Server prior to slocate-2.6-3.i386.rpm OpenLinux 3.1 Workstation prior to slocate-2.6-3.i386.rpm 3. Solution The proper solution is to install the latest packages. Many customers find it easier to use the Caldera System Updater, called cupdate (or kcupdate under the KDE environment), to update these packages rather than downloading and installing them by hand. 4.
