--- POTENTIAL INCOMPATIBILITIES -------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OTP-18897 Application(s): ssh
With this change (being response to CVE-2023-48795),
ssh can negotiate "strict KEX" OpenSSH extension with
peers supporting it; also
'chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com' algorithm becomes a
less preferred cipher.
If strict KEX availability cannot be ensured on both
connection sides, affected encryption modes(CHACHA and
CBC) can be disabled with standard ssh configuration.
This will provide protection against vulnerability, but
at a cost of affecting interoperability. See
Configuring algorithms in SSH.

dependencies have to be satisfied:
-- kernel-8.5 (first satisfied in OTP 25.1)
-- stdlib-4.1 (first satisfied in OTP 25.1)
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-18802 Application(s): erts
Fix faulty debug assert when page size is larger than
16kb, like on PowerPC. Did crash debug VM directly at
start.
OTP-18838 Application(s): erts
Related Id(s): GH-7801, PR-7822
A process with message_queue_data configured as
off_heap could end up in an inconsistent state when
being receive traced, inspected using process_info/2
with the message_queue_len item, or inspected using the
break menu (CTRL-C). When it ended up in this
inconsistent state, it was not enqueued into a run
queue even though it was set in a runnable state.This
also effected signals being sent to the process after
it had gotten into this inconsistent state, in such a
way that it was from this point not possible to
communicate with it.
OTP-18839 Application(s): erts
Related Id(s): GH-7801, PR-7822
A race occurring when a process was selected for dirty
execution simultaneously as it was scheduled for
handling a signal could cause the process to end up in
an inconsistent state. When it ended up in this
inconsistent state, it was not enqueued into a run
queue even though it was set in a runnable state. This
also effected signals being sent to the process after
it had gotten into this inconsistent state, in such a
way that it was from this point not possible to
communicate with it.
OTP-18841 Application(s): erts
Related Id(s): GH-7801, OTP-18737, PR-7822
When a process had to to wait in the run queue for a
long time before being selected for dirty execution, it
could not receive signals. This caused inspection of
such a process, for example using process_info/2, to
take a long time.
This issue was introduced in OTP 25.3.2.6 and 26.1 when
fixing an issue where a constant flow of signals
prevented a process from being able to execute dirty.
OTP-18842 Application(s): erts
Fixed a bug in the JIT that miscompiled large
select_val instructions.
OTP-18885 Application(s): erts
Related Id(s): GH-7834, GH-7890, PR-7915
On OTP 24 and OTP 25, incoming distributed messages
larger than 64 KiB sent using an alias leaked memory if
the alias had been removed prior to entering the node.
This issue was not present on OTP 26.
Incoming distributed messages larger than 64 KiB sent
using an alias which had been removed on the receiving
node could crash the node. This crash was quite
unlikely on OTP 24 and OTP 25, but very likely on OTP
26.
'DOWN' signals with exit reason larger than 64 KiB
directed towards a process on a node with a not
matching creation leaked memory on the receiving node.
Such signals should however be very rare.
OTP-18902 Application(s): erts
Removed unnecessary PCRE source tar-ball.
--- Improvements and New Features ---
OTP-18830 Application(s): erts
Related Id(s): PR-7823
Removed unnecessary regexp library used when generating
yielding BIFs.
OTP-18877 Application(s): erl_interface, erts
Replaced old md5 implementation with an implementation
from OpenSSL.
OTP-18899 Application(s): erts
Removed unused makewhatis script.
Full runtime dependencies of erts-13.2.2.5: kernel-8.5, sasl-3.3,
stdlib-4.1
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- mnesia-4.21.4.2 -------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The mnesia-4.21.4.2 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 25 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-18850 Application(s): mnesia
mnesia:add_table_copy/3 no longer fails with reason
system_limit when the node is starting.
Full runtime dependencies of mnesia-4.21.4.2: erts-9.0, kernel-5.3,
stdlib-3.4
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- public_key-1.13.3.2 ---------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The public_key-1.13.3.2 application can be applied independently of
other applications on a full OTP 25 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-18739 Application(s): public_key, ssl
ssl application will validate id-kp-serverAuth and
id-kp-clientAuth extended key usage only in end entity
certificates. public_key application will disallow
"anyExtendedKeyUsage" for CA certificates that includes
the extended key usage extension and marks it critical.
Full runtime dependencies of public_key-1.13.3.2: asn1-3.0,
crypto-4.6, erts-6.0, kernel-3.0, stdlib-3.5
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- ssh-4.15.3.1 ----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------

applications on a full OTP 25 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-18869 Application(s): ssh
Related Id(s): GH-7571, PR-7849
With this change, connection handler does not execute
socket operations until it becomes socket owner.
Previously errors could occur if connection handler
tried to work with socket whose owner exited.
