[bug #18554] feat req: -exec cmd {} more args +

[Geoff Clare]

Follow-up Comment #9, bug #18554 (project findutils):

James, I believe the way I suggested using "sh -c" is perfectly safe.  The
security problem you are thinking of is associated with uses where the {} is
part of the command, e.g.

find ... -exec sh -c 'ls -l {}' \;

which is not portable anyway.  (POSIX says {} only needs to be substituted if
it is a separate argument.)
