Description Josh Bressers 2005-05-24 20:15:10 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #158684 +++

gdb before 6.3 searches the current working directory to load the
.gdbinit configuration file, which allows local users to execute
arbitrary commands as the user running gdb.

Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2006-07-10 21:10:16 UTC 
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

minor security issue. moving to Legacy.
Comment 3 Matthew Miller 2007-04-10 19:16:16 UTC 
Fedora Core 3 is now completely unmaintained. These bugs can't be fixed in that
version. If the issue still persists in current Fedora Core, please reopen.
Thank you, and sorry about this.
