Updated

A stack buffer overflow in the GDB client's remote protocol handler allows an attacker-controlled debug target to execute arbitrary code in the GDB process. The vulnerability exists in fetchregisterusingp, which decodes a stub's register reply into an alloca-sized buffer without bounding writes by the register width.
