RHBA-2011:0186 - Bug Fix Advisory
Synopsis
gdb bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Lightspeed patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated gdb package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5.
Description
The GNU Debugger, GDB, allows the debugging of programs written in C, C++, and
other languages by executing them in a controlled fashion and then printing out
their data.
This update fixes the following bug:
- Previously, a change to the list of shared libraries could corrupt the
internal "bpstat" structure. Consequent to this, typing the "info program"
command at a GDB prompt could cause the utility to terminate unexpectedly with a
segmentation fault. This update ensures that the "bpstat" structure always
contains the correct data, and running the "info program" command no longer
causes the debugger to crash. (BZ#669636)
All users of gdb are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves
this issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red
