   On a full OTP 27 installation, also the following runtime
   dependency has to be satisfied:
   -- erts-15.2.5 (first satisfied in OTP 27.3.2)

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

ssh-5.2.11.1

The ssh-5.2.11.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 27 installation.

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

  • Various channel closing robustness improvements. Avoid crashes when channel handling process closes channel and immediately exits. Avoid breaking the protocol by sending duplicated channel-close messages. Cleanup channels which timeout during closing procedure.

   -- public_key-1.16.4 (first satisfied in OTP 27.1.3)

Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

  • hs_keylog callback properly handle alert in initial states, where encryption is not yet used. Also add keylog callback invocation for corner-case where server alert is encrypted with application secrets as client is already in connection state.
