Title:	SUSE: Security Advisory (SUSE-SU-2024:4413-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'gdb' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2024:4413-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'gdb' package(s) announced via the SUSE-SU-2024:4413-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: This update for gdb fixes the following issues: Mention changes in GDB 14: * GDB now supports the AArch64 Scalable Matrix Extension 2 (SME2), which includes a new 512 bit lookup table register named ZT0. * GDB now supports the AArch64 Scalable Matrix Extension (SME), which includes a new matrix register named ZA, a new thread register TPIDR2 and a new vector length register SVG (streaming vector granule). GDB also supports tracking ZA state across signal frames. Some features are still under development or are dependent on ABI specs that are still in alpha stage. For example, manual function calls with ZA state don't have any special handling, and tracking of SVG changes based on DWARF information is still not implemented, but there are plans to do so in the future. * GDB now recognizes the NO_COLOR environment variable and disables styling according to the spec. See [link moved to references]. Styling can be re-enabled with 'set style enabled on'. * The AArch64 'org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.pauth' Pointer Authentication feature string has been deprecated in favor of the 'org.gnu.gdb.aarch64.pauth_v2' feature string. * GDB now has some support for integer types larger than 64 bits. * Multi-target feature configuration. GDB now supports the individual configuration of remote targets' feature sets. Based on the current selection of a target, the commands 'set remote -packet (onoffauto)' and 'show remote -packet' can be used to configure a target's feature packet and to display its configuration, respectively. * GDB has initial built-in support for the Debugger Adapter Protocol. * For the break command, multiple uses of the 'thread' or 'task' keywords will now give an error instead of just using the thread or task id from the last instance of the keyword. E.g.: break foo thread 1 thread 2 will now give an error rather than using 'thread 2'. * For the watch command, multiple uses of the 'task' keyword will now give an error instead of just using the task id from the last instance of the keyword. E.g.: watch my_var task 1 task 2 will now give an error rather than using 'task 2'. The 'thread' keyword already gave an error when used multiple times with the watch command, this remains unchanged. * The 'set print elements' setting now helps when printing large arrays. If an array would otherwise exceed max-value-size, but 'print elements' is set such that the size of elements to print is less than or equal to 'max-value-size', GDB will now still print the array, however only 'max-value-size' worth of data will be added into the value history. * For both the break and watch commands, it is now invalid to use both the 'thread' and 'task' keywords within the same command. For example the following commnds will now give an error: break foo thread 1 task 1 watch var thread 2 task 3 * The printf command now accepts a '%V' ...
