CVE-2026-13732

A flaw was found in GDB's STABS debug format parser. The read_member_functions() function in gdb/stabsread.c contains a linked list removal bug in the code that separates destructor and non-destructor member functions of C++ classes. The bug causes the destructor entries to remain in the main function list while the list length counter is decremented, resulting in an out-of-bounds write when the function list is copied to its final allocated array. An attacker can craft an ELF binary with malicious .stab and .stabstr sections that triggers this out-of-bounds write when a user opens the file in GDB and performs any symbol-inspection operation such as setting a breakpoint. The inferior process does not need to be executed. Under controlled conditions, this was demonstrated to achieve execution of arbitrary commands within the GDB process.

7.0 (High)

The\nread_member_functions() function in gdb/stabsread.c contains a linked\nlist removal bug in the code that separates destructor and non-destructor\nmember functions of C++ classes. The bug causes the destructor entries to\nremain in the main function list while the list length counter is\ndecremented, resulting in an out-of-bounds write when the function list\nis copied to its final allocated array. An attacker can craft an ELF\nbinary with malicious .stab and .stabstr sections that triggers this\nout-of-bounds write when a user opens the file in GDB and performs any\nsymbol-inspection operation such as setting a breakpoint. The inferior\nprocess does not need to be executed. Under controlled conditions, this\nwas demonstrated to achieve execution of arbitrary commands within the\nGDB process.",

While GCC\nremoved STABS emitting support in GCC 13 and GDB deprecated STABS parsing\nin GDB 17, all deployed GDB versions parse STABS data without user opt-in.\nAn attacker can embed STABS sections in any ELF binary, including one\ncompiled with DWARF debug information, and GDB will parse both.

          "details": "The following practices would help for avoiding exposure and mitigate this\nflaw:\n- Do not open untrusted or unknown ELF binaries in GDB without first\n  stripping debug sections. Use `objcopy --remove-section=.stab\n  --remove-section=.stabstr \u003cbinary\u003e` before debugging.\n- Use `readelf -S \u003cbinary\u003e | grep stab` to check for the presence of\n  STABS sections before opening a binary in GDB. Legitimate modern\n  binaries use DWARF, not STABS.\n- Consider using LLDB or other debuggers that do not support STABS for\n  analysis of untrusted binaries.\n- For automated environments (CI, test farms) that invoke GDB on\n  potentially untrusted binaries, run GDB in a sandboxed or containerized\n  environment with restricted filesystem access.\n- GDB 17+ deprecates STABS support but still parses it. GDB 18 (expected\n  late 2026/2027) will remove STABS support entirely.\n- GCC removed STABS emitting in GCC 13 (2023), so legitimately compiled\n  binaries from recent GCC versions will not contain STABS data.",

The\nread_member_functions() function in gdb/stabsread.c contains a linked\nlist removal bug in the code that separates destructor and non-destructor\nmember functions of C++ classes. The bug causes the destructor entries to\nremain in the main function list while the list length counter is\ndecremented, resulting in an out-of-bounds write when the function list\nis copied to its final allocated array. An attacker can craft an ELF\nbinary with malicious .stab and .stabstr sections that triggers this\nout-of-bounds write when a user opens the file in GDB and performs any\nsymbol-inspection operation such as setting a breakpoint. The inferior\nprocess does not need to be executed. Under controlled conditions, this\nwas demonstrated to achieve execution of arbitrary commands within the\nGDB process."

Use `objcopy --remove-section=.stab\n  --remove-section=.stabstr \u003cbinary\u003e` before debugging.\n- Use `readelf -S \u003cbinary\u003e | grep stab` to check for the presence of\n  STABS sections before opening a binary in GDB. Legitimate modern\n  binaries use DWARF, not STABS.\n- Consider using LLDB or other debuggers that do not support STABS for\n  analysis of untrusted binaries.\n- For automated environments (CI, test farms) that invoke GDB on\n  potentially untrusted binaries, run GDB in a sandboxed or containerized\n  environment with restricted filesystem access.\n- GDB 17+ deprecates STABS support but still parses it. GDB 18 (expected\n  late 2026/2027) will remove STABS support entirely.\n- GCC removed STABS emitting in GCC 13 (2023), so legitimately compiled\n  binaries from recent GCC versions will not contain STABS data."

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
