Comment 1 Michael Matz 2023-07-26 12:55:32 UTC 
So the script kiddies found gdb to fuzz.  Marvellous.  Not my turf, assigning to
Tom.  I would suggest to handle this similarly to binutils: do one or two version updates a year for gdb, and not backport such kind of fuzzing fixes.  Decision
of somebody else, though.
