EulerOS 2.0 SP2 : gdb (EulerOS-SA-2019-2479)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 131632

Language:

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the gdb packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - GNU Debugger (GDB) 8.0 and earlier fails to detect a negative length field in a DWARF section. A malformed section in an ELF binary or a core file can cause GDB to repeatedly allocate memory until a process limit is reached. This can, for example, impede efforts to analyze malware with GDB.(CVE-2017-9778)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected gdb package.
