patch for screen
Timo Sirainen reported a vulnerability in screen in which an attacker can
gain the privledges of the user/group in which screen runs as. I have
used his submitted patch to create a .deb for Debian users, since Debian
security is bogged down @ the moment.
http://hnsg.net/~cpace/screen_3.9.11-5_i386.deb
is the patched .deb archive (for i386 only obviously), and
http://hnsg.net/~cpace/patch.txt
is the patch (obviously).
This has so far been tested on 5 i586&i486-based systems, and works
flawlessly. If I can be of any more assistance to Debian let me know.
