I believe it is fixed by the following upstream commit, which includes also indentation changes, unfortunately: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/findutils.git/commit/?id=183115d0 Here you can find the actual fix extracted from the above commit: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1223557#c2 ... and this seems to be the related upstream bug report: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?34976 Kamil > It seems that replacing -execdir with -exec makes that problem go > away, but as the manual page says, there are significant security > problems with -exec. > > Dale
