1.253.1. RHBA-2011:0678: bug fix update

An updated screen package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The screen utility allows multiple logins on a single terminal. This is especially useful for users who telnet into a machine or are connected using a terminal that does not provide this functionality, but want to use more than one login.

This update fixes the following bug:

Due to several unrelated bugs, the screen utility did not pass the Common Criteria certification requirements. This update modifies various parts of the underlying source code to address these issues. (BZ#665103)

All users of screen are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this issue.
