Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.04 Ubuntu 5.10 Ubuntu 6.06 LTS This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 5.04: Ubuntu 5.10: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: Will Drewry, of the Google Security Team, discovered buffer overflows in GDB's DWARF processing. This would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with user privileges by tricking the user into using GDB to load an executable that contained malicious debugging information. |

|---|---|
| 28318 | GDB DWARF Debugging Code Crafted Location Block Overflow A remote overflow exists in GDB DWARF. The compiler fails to handle 'DWARF' or 'DWARF2' information resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
