"Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered two
vulnerabilities in the GNU debugger. The first allows an attacker to
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running gdb if
they can trick the user into loading a specially crafted executable
(CVE-2005-1704).

He also discovered that gdb loads and executes the file .gdbinit in
the current directory even if the file belongs to a different user. If
a user can be tricked into running gdb in a directory with a malicious
.gdbinit file, a local attacker can exploit this to run arbitrary
commands with the privileges of the user running gdb (CVE-2005-1705).

The updated packages have been patched to correct these problems."

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red

GDB, the GNU debugger, allows debugging of programs written in C, C++,

A bug was found in the way gdb loads .gdbinit files. When a user

Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the
name CVE-2005-1705 to this issue.

This updated package also 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 ia64 issued an extraneous warning when gcore was
    used.

  - GDB on ia64 could not backtrace over a sigaltstack.

  - GDB on ia64 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 this updated package, which
resolves these issues."
