Slocate : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Overflow)

Heap-based buffer overflow in main.c of slocate 2.6, and possibly other versions, may allow local users to gain privileges via a modified slocate database that causes a negative "pathlen" value to be used.

Integer overflow in parse_decode_path() of slocate may allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a LOCATE_PATH with a large number of ":" (colon) characters, whose count is used in a call to malloc.

Buffer overflow in secure locate (slocate) before 2.7 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a long (1) -c or (2) -r command line argument.
