Here are the details from the Slackware 11.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/screen-4.0.3-i486-1_slack11.0.tgz: Upgraded to screen-4.0.3.
 This addresses an issue with the way screen handles UTF-8 character encoding
 that could allow screen to be crashed (or possibly code to be executed in the
 context of the screen user) if a specially crafted sequence of pseudo-UTF-8
 characters are displayed within a screen session.
 For more information, see:
