<p>
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.

<description>
<p>
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 "&gt;=sys-devel/gdb-6.3-r3"</code>
</resolution>
