Gnu · Gnu Screen · CVE-2015-6806
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
GNU screen version 4.3.1 and earlier
**Description**
The issue is related to the MScrollV function in ansi.c, which does not properly limit recursion. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically stack consumption, via an escape sequence with a large repeat count value.
**Recommendations**
For GNU screen version 4.3.1 and earlier, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the MScrollV function to minimize the risk of exploitation.
