Erlang

An issue was discovered in Erlang/OTP 18.x. Erlang's generation of compiled regular expressions is vulnerable to a heap overflow. Regular expressions using a malformed extpattern can indirectly specify an offset that is used as an array index. This ordinal permits arbitrary regions within the erts_alloc arena to be both read and written to.Show less

Erlang/OTP before 18.0-rc1 does not properly check CBC padding bytes when terminating connections, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain cleartext data via a padding-oracle attack, a variant of CVE-2014-3566 (aka POODLE).Show less

Multiple CRLF injection vulnerabilities in the FTP module in Erlang/OTP R15B03 allow context-dependent attackers to inject arbitrary FTP commands via CRLF sequences in the (1) user, (2) account, (3) cd, (4) ls, (5) nlist, (6) rename, (7) delete, (8) mkdir, (9) rmdir, (10) recv, (11) recv_bin, (12) recv_chunk_start, (13) send, (14) send_bin, (15) send_chunk_start, (16) append_chunk_start, (17) append, or (18) append_bin command.Show less

The random number generator in the Crypto application before 2.0.2.2, and SSH before 2.0.5, as used in the Erlang/OTP ssh library before R14B03, uses predictable seeds based on the current time, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess DSA host and SSH session keys.Show less

lib/crypto/c_src/crypto_drv.c in erlang does not properly check the return value from the OpenSSL DSA_do_verify function, which might allow remote attackers to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS signature, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077. NOTE: a package maintainer disputes this issue, reporting that there is a proper check within the only code that uses the applicable part of crypto_drv.c, and thus "this report is invalid.Show less
