| 6200 | slocate Negative pathlen Database Modification Overflow |
| 6198 | slocate -c and -r Argument Command Line Overflow A local overflow exists in slocate. The slocate fails to validate the -c and -r parameters. By sending long (1024+ bytes string) -c or -r command line arguments, a local attacker can overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary code, resulting in a loss of integrity. |
