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? Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading from ftp.slackware.com.
Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab (http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting to the Slackware project! :-)
