+  <title>gdb: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the GNU debugger,
+    potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.

+    <p>
+    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.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered an
+    integer overflow in the BFD library, resulting in a heap overflow. A
+    review also showed that by default, gdb insecurely sources
+    initialisation files from the working directory.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="normal">
+    <p>
+    Successful exploitation would result in the execution of arbitrary code
+    on loading a specially crafted object file or the execution of
+    arbitrary commands.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All gdb users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=sys-devel/gdb-6.3-r3&quot;</code>
