-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] screen (SSA:2006-307-02) New screen packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and 11.0 to fix a security issue. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4573 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 withing a screen session. For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2006-4573 (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Where to find the new packages: +-----------------------------+ HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
