JSON

Heap-based buffer overflow in the visit_old_format function in
locate/locate.c in locate in GNU findutils before 4.2.31 might allow
context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long pathname
in a locate database that has the old format, a different vulnerability
than CVE-2001-1036.

Notes

Author	Note
kees	slocate runs instead of the findutils, and this would require an root-user-owned-db attack or similar.
