RHBA-2008:0589 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
findutils bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated findutils package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The findutils package contains programs for locating files. The find
utility searches for files matching a certain set of criteria. The xargs
utility builds and executes command lines from standard input arguments.
When using find, if a user did not have read permissions on the directory
one-level up from the specified path, find failed with a "Permission
denied" error. For example, if a user did not have read permissions for
the "/test/" directory, and ran the "find /test/subdirectory -name file1"
command, find failed.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this
issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
