Topic

An update for gdisk is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Extended Update Support.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of
Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a
detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE
link(s) in the References section.

The gdisk packages provide the gdisk partitioning utility for GUID Partition
Table (GPT) disks. The utility features a command-line interface similar to
fdisk, direct manipulation of partition table structures, recovery tools to deal
with corrupt partition tables, and the ability to convert Master Boot Record
(MBR) disks to the GPT format.

Security Fix(es):

  • gdisk: possible out-of-bounds-write in LoadPartitionTable of gpt.cc

(CVE-2020-0256)

  • gdisk: possible out-of-bounds-write in ReadLogicalParts of basicmbr.cc

(CVE-2021-0308)
