Synopsis:

erlang security updateSummary:

An update for erlang is now available for openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP4Description:

Erlang is a general-purpose programming language and runtime environment. Erlang has built-in support for concurrency, distribution and fault tolerance. Erlang is used in several large telecommunication systems from Ericsson.

Security Fix(es):

Relative Path Traversal, Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization vulnerability in erlang otp erlang/otp (tftp_file modules), erlang otp inets (tftp_file modules), erlang otp tftp (tftp_file modules) allows Relative Path Traversal. This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/tftp/src/tftp_file.erl, src/tftp_file.erl.

This issue affects otp: from 17.0, from 07b8f441ca711f9812fad9e9115bab3c3aa92f79; otp: from 5.10 before 7.0; otp: from 1.0.(CVE-2026-21620)

Inconsistent Interpretation of HTTP Requests ('HTTP Request Smuggling') vulnerability in Erlang OTP (inets httpd module) allows HTTP Request Smuggling.

This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/inets/src/http_server/httpd_request.erl and program routines httpd_request:parse_headers/7.

The server does not reject or normalize duplicate Content-Length headers. The earliest Content-Length in the request is used for body parsing while common reverse proxies (nginx, Apache httpd, Envoy) honor the last Content-Length value. This violates RFC 9112 Section 6.3 and allows front-end/back-end desynchronization, leaving attacker-controlled bytes queued as the start of the next request.

This issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 until OTP 28.4.1, OTP 27.3.4.9 and OTP 26.2.5.18, corresponding to inets from 5.10 until 9.6.1, 9.3.2.3 and 9.1.0.5.(CVE-2026-23941)

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Erlang OTP (ssh_sftpd module) allows Path Traversal.

This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/ssh/src/ssh_sftpd.erl and program routines ssh_sftpd:is_within_root/2.
