A vulnerability was found in screen causing a stack overflow which results in crashing the screen server process, resulting in denial of service.

See DSA-3352-1 for information on other Debian releases.

We recommend that you upgrade your screen packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
