Security update for gdb SUSE Patch security@suse.de SUSE Security Team SUSE-SU-2024:0319-1 Final 1 1 2024-02-20T16:52:21Z current 2024-02-20T16:52:21Z 2024-02-20T16:52:21Z cve-database/bin/generate-cvrf.pl 2017-02-24T01:00:00Z Security update for gdb This update for gdb fixes the following issues: - Drop libdebuginfod1 BuildRequires/Recommends. The former isn't needed because there's a build requirement on libdebuginfod-devel already, which will pull the shared library. And the latter, because it's bogus since RPM auto generated dependency will take care of that requirement. gdb was released in 13.2: * This version of GDB includes the following changes and enhancements: * Support for the following new targets has been added in both GDB and GDBserver: * GNU/Linux/LoongArch (gdbserver) loongarch*-*-linux* * GNU/Linux/CSKY (gdbserver) csky*-*linux* * The Windows native target now supports target async. * Floating-point support has now been added on LoongArch GNU/Linux. * New commands: * set print nibbles [on|off] * show print nibbles * This controls whether the 'print/t' command will display binary values in groups of four bits, known as 'nibbles'. The default is 'off'. Various styling-related commands. See the gdb/NEWS file for more details. Various maintenance commands. These are normally aimed at GDB experts or developers. See the gdb/NEWS file for more details. * Python API improvements: * New Python API for instruction disassembly. * The new attribute 'locations' of gdb.Breakpoint returns a list of gdb.BreakpointLocation objects specifying the locations where the breakpoint is inserted into the debuggee. * New Python type gdb.BreakpointLocation. * New function gdb.format_address(ADDRESS, PROGSPACE, ARCHITECTURE) that formats ADDRESS as 'address ' * New function gdb.current_language that returns the name of the current language. Unlike gdb.parameter('language'), this will never return 'auto'. * New function gdb.print_options that returns a dictionary of the prevailing print options, in the form accepted by gdb.Value.format_string. * New method gdb.Frame.language that returns the name of the frame's language. * gdb.Value.format_string now uses the format provided by 'print', if it is called during a 'print' or other similar operation. * gdb.Value.format_string now accepts the 'summary' keyword. This can be used to request a shorter representation of a value, the way that 'set print frame-arguments scalars' does. * The gdb.register_window_type method now restricts the set of acceptable window names. The first character of a window's name must start with a character in the set [a-zA-Z], every subsequent character of a window's name must be in the set [-_.a-zA-Z0-9]. * GDB/MI changes: * MI version 1 is deprecated, and will be removed in GDB 14. * The async record stating the stopped reason 'breakpoint-hit' now contains an optional field locno. * Miscellaneous improvements: * gdb now supports zstd compressed debug sections (ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD) for ELF. * New convenience variable $_inferior_thread_count contains the number of live threads in the current inferior. * New convenience variables $_hit_bpnum and $_hit_locno, set to the breakpoint number and the breakpoint location number of the breakpoint last hit. * The 'info breakpoints' now displays enabled breakpoint locations of disabled breakpoints as in the 'y-' state. * The format of 'disassemble /r' and 'record instruction-history /r' has changed to match the layout of GNU objdump when disassembling. * A new format '/b' has been introduce to provide the old behavior of '/r'. * The TUI no longer styles the source and assembly code highlighted by the current position indicator by default. You can however re-enable styling using the new 'set style tui-current-position' command. * It is now possible to use the 'document' command to document user-defined commands. * Support for memory tag data for AArch64 MTE. * Support Removal notices: * DBX mode has been removed. * Support for building against Python version 2 has been removed. It is now only possible to build GDB against Python 3. * Support for the following commands has been removed: * set debug aix-solib on|off * show debug aix-solib * set debug solib-frv on|off * show debug solib-frv * Use the 'set/show debug solib' commands instead.
