REDHAT-BUG-2565677: Buffer Overflow

Published Nov 3, 2026
·
Updated

Stack buffer overflow in parsetracepointdefinition (gdb/tracepoint.c), Z branch. The packet buffer rs->buf is reused between requests without clearing. When a short qTsP reply follows a longer qTfP reply, the parser's p pointer — advanced through strchr/unpackvarlenhex calls — walks past the short reply's NUL terminator into stale data from the prior longer reply. hex2bin then copies strlen(p)/2 pairs into an alloca buffer sized only for the short reply, overflowing it. Fires automatically during target remote connection setup with no additional user commands.
