GNU Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells.
It was discovered that GNU screen did not properly handle certain UTF-8 character sequences.
A remote attacker could entice a user to run a program where attacker controls the output inside a GNU screen session, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling UTF-8 processing in .screenrc.
All GNU screen users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=app-misc/screen-4.8.0-r2"
OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Gentoo | any | all | app-misc/screen | < 4.8.0-r2 | UNKNOWN |
