Open a screen and bring it to display the character sequence described below.(For example: paste them into bash)[... ] == Additional Context ==
Some player joined a minecraft server i maintain and startet 10s after joiningto type the UTF-8 characters above in multiple commands (very likelyautomated). As i log these commands in a screen, screen crashed and terminatedmy minecraft server. So this bug is already exploited, but very likely withoutknowing the origin in screen.
See the actual bug report for affected versions of screen as well as for the 1800+ characters long string of Unicode characters which triggered the bug.
Forewarned is forearmed.
