+ <synopsis>
+ Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the GNU debugger,
+ potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ gdb is the GNU project's debugger, facilitating the analysis and
+ debugging of applications. The BFD library provides a uniform method of
+ accessing a variety of object file formats.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered an
+ integer overflow in the BFD library, resulting in a heap overflow. A
+ review also showed that by default, gdb insecurely sources
+ initialisation files from the working directory.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ Successful exploitation would result in the execution of arbitrary code
+ on loading a specially crafted object file or the execution of
+ arbitrary commands.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All gdb users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=sys-devel/gdb-6.3-r3"</code>
+ </resolution>
