-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Low: gdb security and bug fix update Advisory ID: RHSA-2007:0469-01 Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0469.html Issue date: 2007-06-07 Updated on: 2007-06-11 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Keywords: stack buffer overflow dwarf CVE Names: CVE-2006-4146 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary: An updated gdb package that fixes a security issue and various bugs is now available. This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: 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. Various buffer overflows and underflows were found in the DWARF expression computation stack in GDB. If an attacker could trick a user into loading an executable containing malicious debugging information into GDB, they may be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user. (CVE-2006-4146) This updated package also addresses the following issues: * Support on 64-bit hosts shared libraries debuginfo larger than 2GB. * Fix a race occasionally leaving the detached processes stopped. * Fix segmentation fault on the source display by ^X 1. * Fix a crash on an opaque type dereference. All users of gdb should upgrade to this updated package, which contains backported patches to resolve these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 135488 - gdb internal error with incomplete type 189607 - pstack can cause process to suspend 203875 - CVE-2006-4146 GDB buffer overflow 6.
