Synopsis
========

A buffer overflow in gdb might allow a remote attacker to cause a
Denial of Service condition.

Background
==========

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.

Description
===========

It was discovered that gdb didn’t properly validate the ELF section
sizes from input file.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted ELF
binary using gdb, possibly resulting in information disclosure or a
Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
