Use CVE-2008-7315.

Note that bug-report discussion debates the question of whether this
is a vulnerability. Our feeling is that "I have a script that parses
URLs from an e-mail and uses UI::dialog to prompt me to select one.
This means that sending me a specially crafted e-mail could cause
execution of arbitrary commands" is a plausible use case and that the
current documentation at http://search.cpan.org/~kck/UI-Dialog/
doesn't exclude this use case. Also, the code analysis in 107364
suggests that some or all parts of the product were attempting to
address input containing ` characters.
