Comment 1 Kevin Buettner 2026-02-23 17:51:38 UTC
Closing this CVE tracker as it has been marked as rejected. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2438909#c2

As noted there, this is an application bug and not a security issue. Additionally, this bug is not regarded as critical, as most GDB users are unlikely to encounter it. The fix will migrate from upstream to Fedora GDB via eventual rebases to upstream sources containing it.
