Check out the git tag OTP-27.3.4.8, and build a full OTP system including  
documentation. Apply one or more applications from this build as patches to your  
installation using the ‘otp\_patch\_apply’ tool. For information on install  
requirements, see descriptions for each application version below.

# crypto-5.5.3.1

The crypto-5.5.3.1 application can be applied independently of other  
applications on a full OTP 27 installation.

## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fixed static linking of OpenSSL 3.5+ on Windows.

> #### Full runtime dependencies of crypto-5.5.3.1
> 
> erts-9.0, kernel-5.3, stdlib-3.9

# erts-15.2.7.6

The erts-15.2.7.6 application can be applied independently of other applications  
on a full OTP 27 installation.

## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fixed bug in `ets:update_counter/4` and `ets:update_element/4` accepting and  
inserting a default tuple smaller than the `keypos` of the table. Such a tuple  
without a key element would make the table internally inconsistent and might  
lead to bad behavior at table access, like ERTS runtime crash.

- A missing memory barrier when unlocking process locks could cause unexpected  
behavior on architectures with weak memory ordering such as for example ARM.

- A process could fail to wake from hibernation when a non‑message signal  
followed by a message signal arrived concurrently as the receiving process  
hibernated. If the process had a large heap, triggering a dirty GC, the wakeup  
could be lost.

> #### Full runtime dependencies of erts-15.2.7.6
> 
> kernel-9.0, sasl-3.3, stdlib-4.1

# ssh-5.2.11.5

The ssh-5.2.11.5 application can be applied independently of other applications  
on a full OTP 27 installation.

## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fix handling of the SSH “each side may guess” key-exchange mechanism as  
defined in RFC 4253, Section 7.

> #### Full runtime dependencies of ssh-5.2.11.5
> 
> crypto-5.0, erts-14.0, kernel-9.0, public\_key-1.6.1, runtime\_tools-1.15.1,  
> stdlib-5.0, stdlib-6.0

# stdlib-6.2.2.3

The stdlib-6.2.2.3 application can be applied independently of other  
applications on a full OTP 27 installation.

## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- Fixed bug in `ets:update_counter/4` and `ets:update_element/4` accepting and  
inserting a default tuple smaller than the `keypos` of the table. Such a tuple  
without a key element would make the table internally inconsistent and might  
lead to bad behavior at table access, like ERTS runtime crash.

- For a function that started with a bracket-only pattern (such as `[]`), the  
`?FUNCTION_ARITY` macro would evaluate to one less than the actual arity.

> #### Full runtime dependencies of stdlib-6.2.2.3
> 
> compiler-5.0, crypto-4.5, erts-15.0, kernel-10.0, sasl-3.0

# tftp-1.2.2.1

The tftp-1.2.2.1 application can be applied independently of other applications  
on a full OTP 27 installation.

## Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions

- An issue in the undocumented initial state option [{root\_dir,Dir}] to the  
tftp\_file module has been fixed. The request file name was just concatenated  
to Dir so it was possible to traverse above Dir by using “../” file path  
components. Now the option actually restricts local file operations to the Dir  
directory and subdirectories.

> #### Full runtime dependencies of tftp-1.2.2.1
> 
> erts-6.0, kernel-6.0, stdlib-5.0
