Hi,
the following vulnerability was published for gdb, filling a bug to
track the issue and the fix status.
CVE-2017-9778[0]:
| 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.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
