[USN-425-1] slocate vulnerability

=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-425-1          February 22, 2007
slocate vulnerability
CVE-2007-0227
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  slocate                                  3.0.beta.r3-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
  slocate                                  3.1-1ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

A flaw was discovered in the permission checking code of slocate.  When 
reporting matching files, locate would not correctly respect the parent 
directory's "read" bits.  This could result in filenames being displayed 
when the file owner had expected them to remain hidden from other system 
users.
