The version of screen installed on the remote host is prior to 4.1.0-0.27.20120314git3c2946. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2021-1623 advisory.

  • encoding.c in GNU Screen through 4.8.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid write access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted UTF-8 character sequence. (CVE-2021-26937)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
