Unity Linux 20.1050e / 20.1060e / 20.1070e Security Update: perl-File-Find-Rule (UTSA-2026-021485)

high Nessus Plugin ID 315170

Synopsis

The Unity Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The Unity Linux 20 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the UTSA-2026-021485 advisory.

 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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Unity Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected perl-File-Find-Rule package.
