Fixed In Version:	gdb-7.6.1-65.el7	Doc Type:	Bug Fix
Doc Text:	Under certain conditions, while attaching to a process, GDB can perform the initial low level ptrace attach request, but then the kernel refuses to let the debugger finish the attach sequence and the waitpid system call fails with the EACCES (Permission denied) error. Previously, GDB did not expect this scenario and terminated unexpectedly with an internal error message. With this update, GDB handles the described scenario gracefully, the user now receives a warning message that GDB was unable to attach because permission was denied but the debugging session is not affected by this.
