=========================================================== 
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-356-1           October 02, 2006
gdb vulnerability
CVE-2006-4146
===========================================================

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:
  gdb                                      6.3-5ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 5.10:
  gdb                                      6.3-6ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  gdb                                      6.4-1ubuntu5.1

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.
