perl-File-Find-Rule security update
File::Find::Rule is a friendlier interface to File::Find. It allows you to build rules which specify the desired files and directories. %package help Summary : Alternative interface to File::Find Provides: perl-File-Find-Rule-doc %description help File::Find::Rule is a friendlier interface to File::Find.

Security Fix(es):
File::Find::Rule through 0.34 for Perl is vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution when grep() encounters a crafted filename.
A file handle is opened with the 2 argument form of open() allowing an attacker controlled filename to provide the MODE parameter to open(), turning the filename into a command to be executed.
Example:
$ mkdir /tmp/poc; echo > "/tmp/poc/|id"
$ perl -MFile::Find::Rule \
-E 'File::Find::Rule->grep("foo")->in("/tmp/poc")'
uid=1000(user) gid=1000(user) groups=1000(user),100(users)(CVE-2011-10007)
This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. A user must be tricked into taking some action. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality high, integrity high, availability high.
