                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           screen
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:113
 Date:                   December 8th, 2003

 Affected versions:	 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
			 Multi Network Firewall 8.2
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability was discovered and fixed in screen by Timo Sirainen
 who found an exploitable buffer overflow that allowed privilege
 escalation.  This vulnerability also has the potential to allow
 attackers to gain control of another user's screen session.  The
 ability to exploit is not trivial and requires approximately 2GB
 of data to be transferred in order to do so.
 
 Updated packages are available that fix the vulnerability.
