Status for findutils/4.10.0-4

Patch Description Author Forwarded Bugs Origin Last update
0001-updatedb-properly-quote-variables-and-avoid-redundan.patch updatedb: properly quote variables and avoid redundant eval
* locate/updatedb.sh (checkbinary): Remove 'eval' before echo which serves
no purpose here, but instead open an attack surface if the given binary
contains dangerously crafted content.
Add proper quotes in the caller loop as well.
* NEWS: Mention the fix.
