crypto-5.5.3.1 #

The crypto-5.5.3.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 27 installation.

erts-15.2.7.6 #

The erts-15.2.7.6 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 27 installation.

PR-10616

Fixed bug in ets:update_counter/4 and ets:update_element/4 accepting and inserting a default tuple smaller than the keypos of the table. Such a tuple without a key element would make the table internally inconsistent and might lead to bad behavior at table access, like ERTS runtime crash.

Now a call to ets:update_counter/4 or ets:update_element/4 will fail with badarg if the key does not exist in the table and the default tuple is too small.

A missing memory barrier when unlocking process locks could cause unexpected behavior on architectures with weak memory ordering such as for example ARM.

OTP-19983
Related Id(s):

GH-10651, PR-10696

A process could fail to wake from hibernation when a non‑message signal followed by a message signal arrived concurrently as the receiving process hibernated. If the process had a large heap, triggering a dirty GC, the wakeup could be lost.

This bug existed since OTP 27.0.

For a function that started with a bracket-only pattern (such as []), the ?FUNCTION_ARITY macro would evaluate to one less than the actual arity.

OTP-19981

PR-10706, CVE-2026-21620

An issue in the undocumented initial state option [{root_dir,Dir}] to the tftp_file module has been fixed. The request file name was just concatenated to Dir so it was possible to traverse above Dir by using “../” file path components. Now the option actually restricts local file operations to the Dir directory and subdirectories.

The initial state option and how to use it was previously undocumented, so it is unlikely that anyone would have used it without understanding its peculiarities.

The documentation of the TFTP application has also been clarified to make it obvious that the default server configuration allows read and write access to all files that are readable or writable by the user running the Erlang VM, and that the default configuration therefore should be avoided.

Thanks to Luigino Camastra at Aisle Research, for finding and reporting this issue.
