Description Andrej Nemec 2017-01-26 04:49:40 EST 
A vulnerability was found in a way screen handles logfiles. A maliciously crafted logfile could allow the attacker to possibly elevate his privileges to those of root.

Comment 1 Cedric Buissart 2017-01-26 11:42:13 EST 
The vulnerable code is not present in screen as shipped in Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 5, 6 and 7.

Also, Red Hat Enterprise Linux versions 5, 6 and 7 are shipped with /usr/bin/screen SGID set to 'screen' group.
