Debian Bug : 1139727 1139823 1141414 1142985
Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Erlang/OTP, a concurrent,
real-time, distributed functional language, which may result in denial of
service, information disclosure, authentication and certificate validation
bypass, or the execution of arbitrary code. These vulnerbilities affect a
wide range of components: TLS and certificate validation (ssl, public_key),
SSH (ssh), network clients and servers (inets, ftp, epmd, kernel),
runtime and libraries (erts, erl_interface, stdlib, megaco).
Several of these fixes tighten checks that were previously too permissive,
and can cause configurations that worked before to stop working. The most
likely to be noticed are:
- TLS clients using verify_peer, which is the default, now reject
certificates that carry no subjectAltName extension; the
customize_hostname_check option does not restore the old behaviour.
- Erlang distribution over TLS with the kernel 'check_ip' option now
enforces the check that was previously a no-op, so clusters whose nodes
are not on the same subnet lose distribution connectivity until the
option is unset.
- TLS clients that request OCSP stapling now fail the handshake when the
server provides no stapled response.
- Clients using TLS 1.2 or earlier now abort the handshake if the server
sends an ALPN extension that the client did not advertise.
- DNS queries made through inet_res now use randomised source ports
For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:27.3.4.1+dfsg-1+deb13u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your erlang packages.
