Denial of Service Risk in GNU Screen by GNU
CVE-2015-6806
Currently unrated
Summary
The MScrollV function in GNU Screen versions 4.3.1 and earlier is prone to a vulnerability that allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service condition through excessive recursion. By sending an escape sequence with a significantly large repeat count, the function does not adequately restrict recursion levels, potentially leading to stack exhaustion and subsequent crashes or unresponsiveness of the affected application.
