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.
