Application

crypto-3.6.3.1 #

The crypto-3.6.3.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 18 installation.

OTP-14169
Application(s):
crypto, ssh

Key exchange algorithms diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha* optimized, up to a factor of 11 for the slowest ( = biggest and safest) one.

Full runtime dependencies of crypto-3.6.3.1: erts-6.0, kernel-3.0, stdlib-2.0

erts-7.3.1.3 #

The erts-7.3.1.3 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 18 installation.

erts

A bug has been fixed where if erlang was started +B on a unix platform it would be killed by a SIGUSR2 signal when creating a crash dump.

OTP-13866
Application(s):
erts

Calls to erl_drv_send_term() or erl_drv_output_term() from a non-scheduler thread while the corresponding port was invalid caused the emulator to enter an inconsistent state which eventually caused an emulator crash.

OTP-13869
Application(s):
erts

Driver and NIF operations accessing processes or ports could cause an emulator crash when used from non-scheduler threads. Those operations are:

-- erl_drv_send_term()

-- driver_send_term()

-- erl_drv_output_term()

-- driver_output_term()

-- enif_send()

-- enif_port_command()

Fix bug in binary_to_term for binaries created by term_to_binary with option compressed. The bug can cause badarg exception for a valid binary when Erlang VM is linked against a zlib library of version 1.2.9 or newer. Bug exists since OTP 17.0.

Full runtime dependencies of erts-7.3.1.3: kernel-4.0, sasl-2.4, stdlib-2.5

inets-6.2.4.1 #

The inets-6.2.4.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 18 installation.

OTP-14173
Application(s):
inets
Related Id(s):

Shutdown gracefully on connection or TLS handshake errors

Full runtime dependencies of inets-6.2.4.1: erts-6.0, kernel-3.0, mnesia-4.12, runtime_tools-1.8.14, ssl-5.3.4, stdlib-2.0

ssh-4.2.2.3 #

Note! The ssh-4.2.2.3 application can *not* be applied independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 18 installation. On a full OTP 18 installation, also the following runtime dependency has to be satisfied: -- crypto-3.6.3.1 (first satisfied in OTP 18.3.4.5)

OTP-14166
Application(s):
ssh

The key exchange algorithm diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha* has a server-option {dh_gex_limits,{Min,Max}}. There was a hostkey signature validation error on the client side if the option was used and the Min or the Max differed from the corresponding values obtained from the client.

This bug is now corrected.
