>Description:
find(1) utility opens current directory dotfd = open(".", O_RDONLY, 0)
and use obtained dotfd handle later in fchdir().
If current directory is not readable by user then find fails.
>How-To-Repeat:
mkdir dir
chmod -r dir
cd dir
find /tmp
find: .: Permission denied
>Fix:
dotfd handle is only used when -exec predicate is requested.
find(1) from GNU findutils combat this situation by using getcwd()
call in case cwd is not readable.
