                Mandriva Linux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           gdb
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2005:095
 Date:                   May 30th, 2005

 Affected versions:      10.0, 10.1, 10.2, Corporate 3.0,
                         Corporate Server 2.1

 Problem Description:

 Tavis Ormandy of the Gentoo Linux Security Audit Team discovered two
 vulnerabilites in the GNU debugger.  The first allows an attacker to
 execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running gdb if
 they can trick the user into loading a specially crafted executable
 (CAN-2005-1704).
 
 He also discovered that gdb loads and executes the file .gdbinit in the
 current directory even if the file belongs to a different user.  If a
 user can be tricked into running gdb in a directory with a malicious
 .gdbinit file, a local attacker can exploit this to run arbitrary
 commands with the privileges of the user running gdb (CAN-2005-1705).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct these problems.
