Updated slocate packages are now available that fix vulnerabilities
allowing a local user to gain "slocate" group privileges.

More information is available in Red Hat, Inc's original advisory 
available on their site at:

http://www.redhat.com/archives/enterprise-watch-list/2004-January/msg00012.html

To install this new package on your White Box Enterprise Linux system
use the Up2Date Network or Yum.

Note: Be sure to change the default Up2Date or Yum server from the
initial location to prevent undue load to the whiteboxlinux.org
server, which doesn't have a lot of outbound bandwidth.  The config
files already have entries for mirror sites commented out.

Up2Date's configuration file is at /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources

Yum's configuration is in /etc/yum.conf
