Thanks for the patch to function drop_privs() in locate/locate.c in
the findutils-4.3.2 distribution. I've just applied it in a test
build, and then ran "locate firefox-2.0.0.2" as an ordinary user, and
then as root; both cases succeeded, and without a core dump as root.
I'm going to reinstall this build on Solaris 10 SPARC, and we'll watch
for any further issues that might turn up.
Thanks for the feedback. I have applied the patch in the CVS code for
findutils-4.3.x. Hence the change will be included in the
findutils-4.3.3 release, which will no doubt occur at some point in
the next few weeks.
