This problem is fixed in the CVS code for findutils.
To resolve your problem, you could either wait for the
next official release of findutils, or check out a copy
of the code from the CVS repository for findutils.

After original bug report by David, Bruno Haible wrote :-

In the findutils CVS, it's now around line 376 of locate.c. The bug is still there: No validity checks are made on the 'count' variable after c and optionally two more bytes have been read from the file.
