Summary
Red Hat Bug Fix Advisory: gdb bug fix update
Severity
Low
Notes
Topic: An updated gdb package that fixes various bugs is now available.
Details: GDB, the GNU debugger, allows debugging of programs written in C, C++, and other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion, and then printing their data. This updated package addresses the following issues: - GDB on ia64 had previously implemented a bug fix to work-around a kernel problem when creating a core file via gcore. The bug fix caused a significant slow-down of gcore. - GDB on Itanium issued an extraneous warning when gcore was used. - GDB on Itanium could not successfully do an info frame for a signal trampoline. - GDB on AMD64 and Intel EM64T had problems attaching to a 32-bit process. - GDB on AMD64 and Intel EM64T was not properly handling threaded watchpoints. - GDB could not build with gcc4 when -Werror flag was set. - GDB had problems printing inherited members of C++ classes. - A few updates from mainline sources concerning Dwarf2 partial die in cache support, follow-fork support, interrupted syscall support, and DW_OP_piece read support. All users of gdb should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.

CVE-2005-1704

Integer overflow in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library for gdb before 6.3, binutils, elfutils, and possibly other packages, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted object file that specifies a large number of section headers, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.

CVE-2005-1705
