DESCRIPTION
 Screen[1] is a program which allows the use of several sessions
 inside a single terminal.
 
 Timo Sirainen reported[2] a buffer overflow vulnerability[3] in the
 screen package which could be exploited by an attacker who is able to
 send about 2Gb of data to the user's screen session.
 
 Additionally, a fix for a potential problem with window sizes has
 been incorporated in these updated packages.
 
 Please note that screen is not installed setuid/setgid.


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all screen users upgrade their packages.
