Description:
     Previous versions of the slocate package were vulnerable to an 
information-disclosure vulnerability. Slocate did not properly manage 
database entries that specify names of files in protected directories. 
Thus, for example, a user could see via slocate the names of files in a 
directory chmodded 711.
