The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:0319-1 advisory.

    - Drop libdebuginfod1 BuildRequires/Recommends. The former isn't       needed because there's a build requirement on libdebuginfod-devel       already, which will pull the shared library. And the latter,       because it's bogus since RPM auto generated dependency will take       care of that requirement.

    gdb was released in 13.2:

    * This version of GDB includes the following changes and enhancements:

      * Support for the following new targets has been added in both GDB and GDBserver:

            * GNU/Linux/LoongArch (gdbserver) loongarch*-*-linux*
            * GNU/Linux/CSKY (gdbserver) csky*-*linux*

      * The Windows native target now supports target async.
      * Floating-point support has now been added on LoongArch GNU/Linux.
      * New commands:

            * set print nibbles [on|off]
            * show print nibbles

            * This controls whether the 'print/t' command will display binary values in groups of four bits,     known as 'nibbles'. The default is 'off'.
              Various styling-related commands. See the gdb/NEWS file for more details.
              Various maintenance commands. These are normally aimed at GDB experts or developers. See the     gdb/NEWS file for more details.

      * Python API improvements:

              * New Python API for instruction disassembly.

              * The new attribute 'locations' of gdb.Breakpoint returns a list of gdb.BreakpointLocation     objects specifying the locations where the breakpoint is inserted into the debuggee.
              * New Python type gdb.BreakpointLocation.
              * New function gdb.format_address(ADDRESS, PROGSPACE, ARCHITECTURE) that formats ADDRESS as     'address '
              * New function gdb.current_language that returns the name of the current language. Unlike     gdb.parameter('language'), this will never return 'auto'.
              * New function gdb.print_options that returns a dictionary of the prevailing print options, in     the form accepted by gdb.Value.format_string.
              * New method gdb.Frame.language that returns the name of the frame's language.
              * gdb.Value.format_string now uses the format provided by 'print', if it is called during a     'print' or other similar operation.
              * gdb.Value.format_string now accepts the 'summary' keyword. This can be used to request a     shorter representation of a value, the way that 'set print frame-arguments scalars' does.
              * The gdb.register_window_type method now restricts the set of acceptable window names. The     first character of a window's name must start with a character in the set [a-zA-Z], every subsequent     character of a window's name must be in the set [-_.a-zA-Z0-9].
       * GDB/MI changes:

              * MI version 1 is deprecated, and will be removed in GDB 14.
              * The async record stating the stopped reason 'breakpoint-hit' now contains an optional field     locno.

       * Miscellaneous improvements:

              * gdb now supports zstd compressed debug sections (ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD) for ELF.
              * New convenience variable $_inferior_thread_count contains the number of live threads in the     current inferior.
              * New convenience variables $_hit_bpnum and $_hit_locno, set to the breakpoint number and the     breakpoint location number of the breakpoint last hit.
              * The 'info breakpoints' now displays enabled breakpoint locations of disabled breakpoints as in     the 'y-' state.
              * The format of 'disassemble /r' and 'record instruction-history /r' has changed to match the     layout of GNU objdump when disassembling.

              * A new format '/b' has been introduce to provide the old behavior of '/r'.
              * The TUI no longer styles the source and assembly code highlighted by the current position     indicator by default. You can however re-enable styling using the new 'set style tui-current-position'     command.
              * It is now possible to use the 'document' command to document user-defined commands.
              * Support for memory tag data for AArch64 MTE.

       * Support Removal notices:

              * DBX mode has been removed.
              * Support for building against Python version 2 has been removed. It is now only possible to     build GDB against Python 3.
              * Support for the following commands has been removed:

              * set debug aix-solib on|off
              * show debug aix-solib
              * set debug solib-frv on|off
              * show debug solib-frv

              * Use the 'set/show debug solib' commands instead.

    See the NEWS file for a more complete and detailed list of what this release includes.
