CVE-2025-46802 log

Source
Severity High
Remote No
Type Access restriction bypass
Description
This issue is found in the Attach() function when the multiattach flag is set (i.e. Screen attempts to attach to a multi-user session). The function performs a chmod() of the current TTY to mode 0666. The path to the current TTY is stored in the attach_tty string. The issue with this temporary TTY mode change is that it introduces a race condition allowing any other user in the system to open the caller’s TTY for reading and writing for a short period of time.
