+ <package name="app-misc/screen" auto="yes" arch="*">

+ <background>
+ <p>GNU Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical
+ terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>It was discovered that GNU screen did not properly handle certain UTF-8
+ character sequences.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to run a program where attacker
+ controls the output inside a GNU screen session, possibly resulting in
+ execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a
+ Denial of Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>This vulnerability can be mitigated by disabling UTF-8 processing in
+ .screenrc.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All GNU screen users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-misc/screen-4.8.0-r2"
+ </code>
