If compiled with address sanitizer screen will sometimes produce out of memory reads if the window is resized. Unfortunately I wasn't able to completely isolate the situation when this happens.

To reproduce:

  • Compile screen (latest git code) with address sanitizer my using ./configure CFLAGS="-fsanitize=address -g" LDFLAGS="-fsanitize=address"
  • Start screen in a graphical terminal
  • Do some things and resize the window.


I'll attach a stack trace from address sanitizer. To see the asan error one has to use the environment variable ASAN_OPTIONS and set log_path (e.g. "export ASAN_OPTIONS=log_path=/tmp/asan-error"), because screen will disable stderr.
