The erts-15.2.7.11 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 27 installation.
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Mitigated a denial of service attack in epmd.
Thanks to Ryan Moore for finding and responsibly disclosing this vulnerability
to the Erlang/OTP project.
Own Id: OTP-20136
Related Id(s): PR-11386, CVE-2026-42792
*** POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITY ***
- Fixed heap corruption when an invalidly encoded tuple with an arity of 2^31 or
larger is decoded from Erlang's External Term Format (binary_to_term).
Own Id: OTP-20214
Related Id(s): PR-11297, CVE-2026-55737
- When send_timeout is set and send_timeout_close is set to true, a 'tcp_closed'
message is expected when the timeout occurs, but that (message) was not
delivered. This has now been fixed.
Own Id: OTP-20257
Related Id(s): GH-11319
- A crafted External Term Format (ETF) payload could crash the runtime system.
Thanks to Paul Guyot for finding and responsibly disclosing this vulnerability
to the Erlang/OTP project.

# megaco-4.7.2.2
The megaco-4.7.2.2 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 27 installation.
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fixed a buffer overflow in the megaco flex scanner C driver. A property parm
name exceeding 452 bytes in a text-encoded H.248 message could overflow a
fixed-size error buffer, crashing the VM. The sprintf calls have been replaced
with bounded snprintf.

# public_key-1.17.1.5
The public_key-1.17.1.5 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 27 installation.
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- A certificate chain with crafted policyMappings extensions could cause
exponential memory consumption during path validation, exploitable via TLS
handshake. Chains exceeding a node-count cap are now rejected with {bad_cert,
policy_tree_exceeded}.

# ssh-5.2.11.10
The ssh-5.2.11.10 application can be applied independently of other applications
on a full OTP 27 installation.
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- DH key exchange now enforces strict bounds (1 < e/f < p-1, 1 < K < p-1) on all
paths, matching OpenSSH and Go. No interop impact.
Own Id: OTP-20229
Related Id(s): PR-11303
- Validate DH group parameters (P, G) received from the server during DH-GEX key
exchange. The client now rejects groups where P is smaller than 2048 bits or G
is not in the range (1, P-1). The default minimum in dh_gex_limits has been
raised to 2048 on both client and server.

# ssl-11.2.12.11
Note! The ssl-11.2.12.11 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:
-- public_key-1.17.1.3 (first satisfied in OTP 27.3.4.12)
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Add pre TLS-1.3 client side validation of servers algorithm selection being
part of clients offered algorithms, preventing in worst case MITM
circumventing validation of server certificate tricking the client to trust
the malicious MITM as it was a valid server. Note this check is already
performed for TLS-1.3 clients.
Own Id: OTP-20240
Related Id(s): PR-11336, CVE-2026-55953
- Prevent invalid cert chains to create cycles in chain building code used to
handle chains that could be unordered or contain extraneous certs. This avoids
a DoS attack possibility.
Own Id: OTP-20245
Related Id(s): PR-11343, CVE-2026-58227
- Clarify that rsa_psk and anonymous key exchange algorithms are considered
legacy. Also harden rsa_psk in same way as normal rsa key exchange.
Own Id: OTP-20248
Related Id(s): PR-11341
- Harden SSL application to conform with best practice and RFC's. This will
mostly improve error messages and conserve memory usage.
Own Id: OTP-20250
Related Id(s): PR-27944
- A certificate chain with crafted policyMappings extensions could cause
exponential memory consumption during path validation, exploitable via TLS
handshake. Chains exceeding a node-count cap are now rejected with {bad_cert,
policy_tree_exceeded}.

# stdlib-6.2.2.4
The stdlib-6.2.2.4 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 27 installation.
## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions
- Fixed a bug where zip:unzip/1,2 and zip:extract/1,2 were vulnerable to a
relative path traversal attack. A crafted zip archive containing entry names
such as ../x/y could have caused files to be written outside the intended
extraction directory.
