gdb is the GNU project's debugger, facilitating the analysis and
|
|
debugging of applications. The BFD library provides a uniform method of
|
|
accessing a variety of object file formats.

|
|
Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered an
|
|
integer overflow in the BFD library, resulting in a heap overflow. A
|
|
review also showed that by default, gdb insecurely sources
|
|
initialisation files from the working directory.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Successful exploitation would result in the execution of arbitrary code
|
|
on loading a specially crafted object file or the execution of
|
|
arbitrary commands.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All gdb users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-devel/gdb-6.3-r3"</code>
