Topic

Updated GDB packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 6.

Description

The GNU Debugger (GDB) allows debugging of 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 bug:

  • In some specific situations, when users tried to debug certain coredump files

generated from multithreaded applications, GDB terminated unexpectedly when
required to display a backtrace of all threads. A patch has been provided to fix
this bug. Now, GDB no longer crashes, and users can obtain the full backtrace
for all threads. (BZ#1108490)

Users of gdb are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this
bug.

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
