rPath Security Advisory: 2006-0198-1
Published: 2006-10-26
Products: rPath Linux 1
Rating: Minor
Exposure Level Classification:
Indirect User Deterministic Unauthorized Access
Updated Versions:
screen=/conary.rpath.com@rpl:devel//1/4.0.3-0.1-1

https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-734
Description:
In previous versions of the screen package, the screen program had
a bug which is known to make screen vulnerable to a minor denial of
service attack in which the screen program would crash if presented
with particular output. It is possible that this attack could also
allow a user-complicit attacker to assume the privileges of the
complicit user. The screen program is not setuid in rPath Linux,
so any attack is limited to the complicit user.
