|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CVE-2023-39130 | GNU gdb (GDB) 13.0.50.20220805-git was discovered to contain a heap buffer overflow via the function pe_as16() at /gdb/coff-pe-read.c. | [email protected] | 5.5 | 0.23% | 2023-07-25 | 2026-06-17 |
| CVE-2023-39129 | GNU gdb (GDB) 13.0.50.20220805-git was discovered to contain a heap use after free via the function add_pe_exported_sym() at /gdb/coff-pe-read.c. | [email protected] | 5.5 | 0.24% | 2023-07-25 | 2026-06-17 |
| CVE-2023-39128 | GNU gdb (GDB) 13.0.50.20220805-git was discovered to contain a stack overflow via the function ada_decode at /gdb/ada-lang.c. | [email protected] | 5.5 | 0.29% | 2023-07-25 | 2026-06-17 |
| CVE-2019-1010180 | GNU gdb All versions is affected by: Buffer Overflow - Out of bound memory access. The impact is: Deny of Service, Memory Disclosure, and Possible Code Execution. The component is: The main gdb module. The attack vector is: Open an ELF for debugging. The fixed version is: Not fixed yet. | [email protected] | 7.8 | 2.65% | 2019-07-24 | 2026-06-16 |
| CVE-2017-9778 | GNU Debugger (GDB) 8.0 and earlier fails to detect a negative length field in a DWARF section. A malformed section in an ELF binary or a core file can cause GDB to repeatedly allocate memory until a process limit is reached. This can, for example, impede efforts to analyze malware with GDB. | [email protected] | 5.5 | 1.11% | 2017-06-21 | 2026-06-16 |
| CVE-2011-4355 | GNU Project Debugger (GDB) before 7.5, when .debug_gdb_scripts is defined, automatically loads certain files from the current working directory, which allows local users to gain privileges via crafted files such as Python scripts. | [email protected] | 6.9 | 0.36% | 2013-03-05 | 2026-06-16 |
| CVE-2006-4146 | Buffer overflow in the (1) DWARF (dwarfread.c) and (2) DWARF2 (dwarf2read.c) debugging code in GNU Debugger (GDB) 6.5 allows user-assisted attackers, or restricted users, to execute arbitrary code via a crafted file with a location block (DW_FORM_block) that contains a large number of operations. | [email protected] | 5.1 | 3.23% | 2006-08-31 | 2026-06-16 |
| CVE-2005-1705 | gdb before 6.3 searches the current working directory to load the .gdbinit configuration file, which allows local users to execute arbitrary commands as the user running gdb. | [email protected] | 7.2 | 0.44% | 2005-05-24 | 2026-06-16 |
| CVE-2005-1704 | Integer overflow in the Binary File Descriptor (BFD) library for gdb before 6.3, binutils, elfutils, and possibly other packages, allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted object file that specifies a large number of section headers, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. | [email protected] | 4.6 | 0.60% | 2005-05-24 | 2026-06-16 |
