Description

This security update for Erlang addresses multiple vulnerabilities in the SSH component related to resource consumption caused by improper handling of data from unauthenticated and authenticated SFTP users. The issues include overly tolerant processing of key exchange messages and unverified paths and file handles from SFTP users, which may lead to excessive resource consumption.
