Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2007:0469
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2007:0469. 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. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2007-0469.html http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/classification/#low Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 5.1
