  OTP-13424    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): OTP-10336

               A process communicating with a port via one of the
               erlang:port_* BIFs could potentially end up in an
               inconsistent state if the port terminated during the
               communication. When this occurred the process could
               later block in a receive even though it had messages
               matching in its message queue.

               This bug was introduced in erts version 5.10 (OTP
               R16A).


  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()


  OTP-14159    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): ERL-340

               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.


  OTP-14514    Application(s): erts

               Fixed bug in operator bxor causing erroneuos result
               when one operand is a big *negative* integer with the
               lowest N*W bits as zero and the other operand not
               larger than N*W bits. N is an integer of 1 or larger
               and W is 32 or 64 depending on word size.


  OTP-14590    Application(s): erts
               Related Id(s): ERL-474

               Fixed bug in binary_to_term and binary_to_atom that
               could cause VM crash. Typically happens when the last
               character of an UTF8 string is in the range 128 to 255,
               but truncated to only one byte. Bug exists in
               binary_to_term since ERTS version 5.10.2 (OTP_R16B01)
               and binary_to_atom since ERTS version 9.0 (OTP-20.0).
