Description
GNU screen 4.0.3 creates the /tmp/screen-exchange temporary file with world-readable permissions, which might allow local users to obtain sensitive session information.

Remediation
Red Hat statement
Red Hat does not consider this to be a security issue. Affected file is supposed to be used to exchange information between local system users, therefore open permissions are intentional.
