Package: gdb Version: 6.3-5 Severity: grave Tags: security patch Justification: user security hole
Hi! gdb is vulnerable against two flaws. Please see https://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/usn/usn-135-1 for details and http://patches.ubuntu.com/patches/gdb.CAN-2005-1704_1705.diff for the Ubuntu patch. This patch fixes not only the integer overflow, but also adds some robustness checking to not crash on various types of crafted ELF files.
