7.2

High

Base vector

AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions gdb versions prior to 6.3

Description The issue allows local users to execute arbitrary commands as the user running gdb, due to gdb searching the current working directory to load the .gdbinit configuration file. This can lead to a violation of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The exploitation can be carried out locally.

Recommendations For versions prior to 6.3, update to version 6.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the .gdbinit configuration file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
