slocate security update

CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2005:747-02

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 CAN-2005-2499 to this issue.

Users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which includes a
backported patch to resolve this issue.
