Synopsis: Low: gcc security and bug fix update
Issue Date: 2011-01-13
CVE Numbers: CVE-2010-0831
CVE-2010-2322
—
The gcc packages include C, C++, Java, Fortran, Objective C, and Ada 95 GNU
compilers, along with related support libraries. The libgcj package
provides fastjar, an archive tool for Java Archive (JAR) files.
Two directory traversal flaws were found in the way fastjar extracted JAR
archive files. If a local, unsuspecting user extracted a specially-crafted
JAR file, it could cause fastjar to overwrite arbitrary files writable by
the user running fastjar. (CVE-2010-0831, CVE-2010-2322)
This update also fixes the following bugs:
* The option -print-multi-os-directory in the gcc –help output is not in
the gcc(1) man page. This update applies an upstream patch to amend this.
(BZ#529659)
* An internal assertion in the compiler tried to check that a C++ static
data member is external which resulted in errors. This was because when the
compiler optimizes C++ anonymous namespaces the declarations were no longer
marked external as everything on anonymous namespaces is local to the
current translation. This update corrects the assertion to resolve this
issue. (BZ#503565, BZ#508735, BZ#582682)
* Attempting to compile certain .cpp files could have resulted in an
internal compiler error. This update resolves this issue. (BZ#527510)
* PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices with an appropriate DocFlavor
failed to return a list of printers under gcj. This update includes a
backported patch to correct this bug in the printer lookup service.
(BZ#578382)
* GCC would not build against xulrunner-devel-1.9.2. This update removes
gcjwebplugin from the GCC RPM. (BZ#596097)
* When a SystemTap generated kernel module was compiled, gcc reported an
internal compiler error and gets a segmentation fault. This update applies
a patch that, instead of crashing, assumes it can point to anything.
(BZ#605803)
* There was a performance issue with libstdc++ regarding all objects
derived from or using std::streambuf because of lock contention between
threads. This patch ensures reload uses the same value from _S_global for
the comparison, _M_add_reference () and _M_impl member of the class.
(BZ#635708)
All gcc users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues.
