Name : catfish
Product : Fedora 19
Version : 0.4.0.2
Release : 4.fc19
URL : https://launchpad.net/catfish-search
Summary : A handy file search tool
Description :
A handy file search tool using different backends which is
configurable via the command line.
This program acts as a frontend for different file search engines.
The interface is intentionally lightweight and simple. But it takes
configuration options from the command line.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
In the previous rpm, catfish used a wrapper launching script using some bad logic for searching paths, which might lead to arbitrary code execution exploit by malicious local user. This vulnerability is now assigned as CVE-2014-2093 through CVE-2014-2096.
This new rpm should fix this issue.
