RHBA-2013:0044 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
gdb bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
Updated gdb packages that fix three bugs are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.
Description
The gdb packages provide the GNU Debugger (GDB) to debug programs written in C,
C++, Java, and other languages by executing them in a controlled fashion and
then printing out their data.
This update fixes the following bugs:
- Prior to this update, a bit position within a structure overflowed when a
member of this structure was at an offset greater than 256 MB and GDB failed to
access the position. This update modifies the underlying code to ensure that GDB
can access such positions. (BZ#795423)
- Prior to this update, GDB incorrectly tried to load virtual dynamic shared
objects (vDSO) from the file system when using the "solib-absolute-prefix"
command. As a consequence, vDSOs could abort. This update modifies the
underlying code to handle vDSOs as expected. (BZ#818343)
- Prior to this update, GDB failed to debug XLF generated code due to incorrect
symbol handling. As a consequence, the type of variable in modules was not
found. This update modifies the underlying code to handle symbols correctly and
the type of a variable is found. (BZ#823789)
All users of gdb are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
these bugs.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant
to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
