James Youngman reports:

+
+

When GNU locate reads filenames from an old-format locate database, + they are read into a fixed-length buffer allocated on the heap. + Filenames longer than the 1026-byte buffer can cause a buffer overrun. + The overrunning data can be chosen by any person able to control the + names of filenames created on the local system. This will normally + include all local users, but in many cases also remote users (for + example in the case of FTP servers allowing uploads).
