There is a vulnerability present in previous versions. By giving it a crafted database, an attacker could make slocate execute arbitrary code as the "slocate" user. Additionally, a bug which caused slocate to segfault with large pathnames was fixed. SOLUTION All users should upgrade the slocate package. Thanks to zorgon, Michel Kaempf and the author, Kevin Lindsay.
