Hello Nico,

  any success when receiving the CVE id for this one?

What about the reproducer? Not meaning Debian report
based one (successfully reproduced), but rather that one issuing
malicious escape sequences to the terminal used for displaying.

Thanks, Jan.

Hi,
htop doesn't filter non printable characters in process 
names which enables processes doing evil things with the 
display using escape sequences.

Steve, can you assign a CVE id to this?

Cheers
Nico
