Fedora Update Notification
FEDORA-2005-1033
2005-10-27
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Product  : Fedora Core 4
Name  : gdb
Version  : 6.3.0.0
Release  : 1.84
Summary  : A GNU source-level debugger for C, C++, Java and other languages.
Description :
GDB, the GNU debugger, allows you to debug programs written in C, C++,
Java, and other languages, by executing them in a controlled fashion
and printing their data.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:
This is an fc4 update for gdb that includes security issues:
CAN-2005-1704 Integer Overflow in gdb
This problem is that gdb's internal copy of bfd
does not protect against heap-based overflow.
CAN-2005-1705 gdb arbitrary command execution
This problem allows unprotected .gdbinit files
to execute arbitrary commands during gdb startup.
Fixes for both problems are found in:
gdb-6.3.0.0-1.84
This release also contains some additional fixes
from the last update.
