Release of the GNU screen 4.8.0 console window manager

Available release of the full-screen console window manager (terminal multiplexer) GNU screen 4.8.0, allowing a single physical terminal to work with multiple applications, each assigned a separate virtual terminal that remains active across different user sessions.

Among the changes:

  • Resolved a memory corruption issue that under certain conditions can lead to the overwriting of 768 bytes beyond the buffer. The overflow occurs when processing the escape sequence OSC 49 (echo -e "\e]49\e; … \n\ec"). This issue can be considered a potentially dangerous vulnerability that could be exploited through the output of a specific sequence in the terminal, but the possibility of exploitation has not yet been confirmed;
  • Startup improved by checking only already opened files;
  • Fixed a crash that occurs if the termcap file does not specify a Km entry;
  • When called with the "—version" option, it now produces a zero exit code.
