# POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES
- When OCSP stapling is enabled via the \{stapling, staple\} or \{stapling,
#\{...\}\} options, the handshake now fails if the server does not provide an
OCSP stapled response.
Previously, a missing OCSP staple was silently accepted (soft-fail). Since
Erlang/OTP only supports OCSP via stapling with no fallback to direct OCSP
queries or CRL checking, soft-fail meant no revocation check at all.
Applications that need the previous soft-fail behavior can use a custom
verify_fun that accepts \{bad_cert, missing_ocsp_staple\}.

# compiler-8.6.1.4
The compiler-8.6.1.4 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 27 installation.
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- The type inference for maps:from_list/1 was incorrect: when the provided
list was statically known to be bogus when non-empty (e.g. a list of atoms),
the compiler assumed it would also fail when the list was empty.

Related Id(s): GH-9476, PR-9481
- Fixed a bug in the type analysis pass that could erroneously eliminate code
blocks.
Own Id: OTP-19931
Related Id(s): GH-10562, PR-10569
- A binary as the value of a `-moduledoc()` attribute would be silently ignored.

# crypto-5.5.3.2
The crypto-5.5.3.2 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 27 installation.
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fixed bug that could cause runtime crash after ~2 billion calls to
`crypto:mac_init` due to a double EVP_MAC_free.

# erts-15.2.7.7
The erts-15.2.7.7 application can be applied independently of other applications
on a full OTP 27 installation.
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fixed a JIT bug that miscompiled expressions like `X * X + X * X`.
Own Id: OTP-19889

- Fixed bug on windows that made tools dialyzer, erlc and typer unusable in
powershell or cmd.exe, when there are spaces in the installation path.

# inets-9.3.2.4
The inets-9.3.2.4 application can be applied independently of other applications
on a full OTP 27 installation.
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fixed authentication bypass in `httpd` when `script_alias` maps a URL to a
directory outside `document_root` with `mod_auth` directory-based access
controls. The mod_alias:which_alias/1 function now includes `script_alias`
entries so authorization is evaluated against the correct path before CGI
execution. CVE-2026-28808.

# kernel-10.2.7.4
Note! The kernel-10.2.7.4 application _cannot_ be applied independently of other
applications on an arbitrary OTP 27 installation.
On a full OTP 27 installation, also the following runtime
dependency has to be satisfied:
-- erts-15.2.5 (first satisfied in OTP 27.3.2)
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Before this patch, the Erlang/OTP built-in DNS resolver (`inet_res`) used a
sequential, process-global 16-bit transaction ID for UDP queries and did not
implement source port randomization. Response validation relied almost
entirely on this ID. Together, this made DNS cache poisoning practical for an
attacker who can observe one query or predict the next ID. The design
conflicted with RFC 5452 recommendations for mitigating forged DNS answers.
`inet_res` is intended for use in trusted network environments and with
trusted recursive resolvers. Earlier documentation did not clearly state this
deployment assumption, which could lead users to deploy the resolver in
environments where faked DNS responses are possible.
Therefore, the documentation is been updated to clarify that `inet_res` should
only be used in trusted networks and with trusted recursive resolvers.
The implementation is also improved to use strong random DNS transaction IDs
and source ports for every DNS transaction. This should give ample protection
against brute forcing fake DNS replies, known as DNS cache poisoning, but it
still does not protect against, for example, an adversary in the path of the
DNS transaction that can observe the random values before faking malicious
replies, an attack known as DNS spoofing.
For randomization to happen, the Crypto application has to be loaded, which
most probably already should be the case for an Erlang node in an exposed
network.
If performance should become an issue, for applications within safe network
environments, the previous light weight behaviour can be configured by setting
the resolver option `random` to `false`.

# public_key-1.17.1.2
The public_key-1.17.1.2 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 27 installation.
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- OCSP designated responder certificate verification now checks the CA's
cryptographic signature on the responder certificate. Previously, only the
issuer DN match and id-kp-OCSPSigning EKU were verified, which meant a forged
self-signed certificate with the CA's subject DN would be accepted as a valid
designated responder (Case 2 in RFC 6960 §4.2.2.2).
