Detail
A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) The following packages are affected: gdb The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 6.1-3ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 6.3-5ubuntu1.1 (for Ubuntu 5.04). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Tavis Ormandy found an integer overflow in the GNU debugger. By tricking an user into merely load a specially crafted executable, an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running gdb. However, loading untrusted binaries without actually executing them is rather uncommon, so the risk of this flaw is low. (CAN-2005-1704) Tavis Ormandy also discovered that gdb loads and executes the file ".gdbinit" in the current directory even if the file belongs to a different user. By tricking an user into run gdb in a directory with a malicious .gdbinit file, a local attacker could exploit this to run arbitrary commands with the privileges of the user invoking gdb. (CAN-2005-1705) |

16870 | binutils BFD Library Local Overflow A local overflow exists in binutils. The BFD library fails to validate user supplied input resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted file, an attacker can gain escalated privileges resulting in a loss of confidentiality. |
16758 | GDB Initialisation File Sourcing Insecure File Handling GDB, the GNU debugger contains a flaw that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when the GDB reads the .gdbinit file from the current working directory. If a privileged user can be tricked to run GDB in another user's directory, and the current working directory contains a malicious .gdbinit, an attacker could gain escalated privileges. |
