  <summary>Security update for gdb</summary>
  <description>This update for gdb fixes the following issues:

- Drop libdebuginfod1 BuildRequires/Recommends. The former isn't
  needed because there's a build requirement on libdebuginfod-devel
  already, which will pull the shared library. And the latter,
  because it's bogus since RPM auto generated dependency will take
  care of that requirement.

gdb was released in 13.2:

* This version of GDB includes the following changes and enhancements:

* Support for the following new targets has been added in both GDB and GDBserver:

* GNU/Linux/LoongArch (gdbserver) loongarch*-*-linux*
        * GNU/Linux/CSKY (gdbserver) csky*-*linux*

* The Windows native target now supports target async.
  * Floating-point support has now been added on LoongArch GNU/Linux.
  * New commands:

* set print nibbles [on|off]
        * show print nibbles

* This controls whether the 'print/t' command will display binary values in groups of four bits, known as "nibbles". The default is 'off'.
          Various styling-related commands. See the gdb/NEWS file for more details.
          Various maintenance commands. These are normally aimed at GDB experts or developers. See the gdb/NEWS file for more details.

* Python API improvements:

* New Python API for instruction disassembly.

* The new attribute 'locations' of gdb.Breakpoint returns a list of gdb.BreakpointLocation objects specifying the locations where the breakpoint is inserted into the debuggee.
          * New Python type gdb.BreakpointLocation.
          * New function gdb.format_address(ADDRESS, PROGSPACE, ARCHITECTURE) that formats ADDRESS as 'address '
          * New function gdb.current_language that returns the name of the current language. Unlike gdb.parameter('language'), this will never return 'auto'.
          * New function gdb.print_options that returns a dictionary of the prevailing print options, in the form accepted by gdb.Value.format_string.
          * New method gdb.Frame.language that returns the name of the frame's language.
          * gdb.Value.format_string now uses the format provided by 'print', if it is called during a 'print' or other similar operation.
          * gdb.Value.format_string now accepts the 'summary' keyword. This can be used to request a shorter representation of a value, the way that 'set print frame-arguments scalars' does.
          * The gdb.register_window_type method now restricts the set of acceptable window names. The first character of a window's name must start with a character in the set [a-zA-Z], every subsequent character of a window's name must be in the set [-_.a-zA-Z0-9]. 
   * GDB/MI changes:

* MI version 1 is deprecated, and will be removed in GDB 14.
          * The async record stating the stopped reason 'breakpoint-hit' now contains an optional field locno.

* Miscellaneous improvements:

* gdb now supports zstd compressed debug sections (ELFCOMPRESS_ZSTD) for ELF.
          * New convenience variable $_inferior_thread_count contains the number of live threads in the current inferior.
          * New convenience variables $_hit_bpnum and $_hit_locno, set to the breakpoint number and the breakpoint location number of the breakpoint last hit.
          * The "info breakpoints" now displays enabled breakpoint locations of disabled breakpoints as in the "y-" state.
          * The format of 'disassemble /r' and 'record instruction-history /r' has changed to match the layout of GNU objdump when disassembling.

* A new format "/b" has been introduce to provide the old behavior of "/r".
          * The TUI no longer styles the source and assembly code highlighted by the current position indicator by default. You can however re-enable styling using the new "set style tui-current-position" command.
          * It is now possible to use the "document" command to document user-defined commands.
          * Support for memory tag data for AArch64 MTE.

* Support Removal notices:

* DBX mode has been removed.
          * Support for building against Python version 2 has been removed. It is now only possible to build GDB against Python 3.
          * Support for the following commands has been removed:

* set debug aix-solib on|off
          * show debug aix-solib
          * set debug solib-frv on|off
          * show debug solib-frv

* Use the "set/show debug solib" commands instead.
