Had to get a page in to be sure this wasn't about GNU Screen, the terminal multiplexer

This is about GNU screen!

SUSE just linked to the git repository's web UI, and remarked there are random 502 errors happening; probably so they're not notified about "broken links".

[edit] From the "<meta name="description">" tag (I noticed the nice slug when I shared the link with a friend):

  Screen is the traditional terminal multiplexer software used on Linux and Unix systems. We found a local root exploit in Screen 5.0.0 affecting Arch Linux and NetBSD, as well as a couple of other issues that partly also affect older Screen versions, which are still found in the majority of distributions.
