A 16-year-old vulnerability allows an attacker to escape a virtual machine, gain access to the host, and execute malicious code.

Hi everyone,
I'm glad to announce the new release of GNU screen.

Screen is a full-screen window manager that multiplexes a physical terminal between several processes, typically interactive shells.

The 5.0.2 release includes the following changes to the previous release 5.0.1:

• Add %* escape to output caret character literal ("^")
• Add portable PAM conversation callback prototype (for Solaris)
• Fixes:

 - type on big-endian systems
 - UTF-8 combining sequences
 - buffer overflow in SendCmdMessage()
 - detaching fail with empty terminfo and leave the session attached
 - eliminates the TOCTOU race
 - manpage fixes

Release (official tarball) will be available soon for download:
https://ftp.gn ... rg/gnu/screen/
Please report any bugs or regressions.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this release.

Cheers,
Alex
