A process communicating with a port via one of the erlang:port_* BIFs could potentially end up in an inconsistent state if the port terminated during the communication. When this occurred the process could later block in a receive even though it had messages matching in its message queue.

This bug was introduced in erts version 5.10 (OTP R16A).

OTP-13866
Application(s):
erts

Calls to erl_drv_send_term() or erl_drv_output_term() from a non-scheduler thread while the corresponding port was invalid caused the emulator to enter an inconsistent state which eventually caused an emulator crash.

OTP-13869
Application(s):
erts

Driver and NIF operations accessing processes or ports could cause an emulator crash when used from non-scheduler threads. Those operations are:

-- erl_drv_send_term()

-- driver_send_term()

-- erl_drv_output_term()

-- driver_output_term()

-- enif_send()

-- enif_port_command()

Fix bug in binary_to_term for binaries created by term_to_binary with option compressed. The bug can cause badarg exception for a valid binary when Erlang VM is linked against a zlib library of version 1.2.9 or newer. Bug exists since OTP 17.0.

OTP-14514
Application(s):
erts

Fixed bug in operator bxor causing erroneuos result when one operand is a big *negative* integer with the lowest N*W bits as zero and the other operand not larger than N*W bits. N is an integer of 1 or larger and W is 32 or 64 depending on word size.

Fixed bug in binary_to_term and binary_to_atom that could cause VM crash. Typically happens when the last character of an UTF8 string is in the range 128 to 255, but truncated to only one byte. Bug exists in binary_to_term since ERTS version 5.10.2 (OTP_R16B01) and binary_to_atom since ERTS version 9.0 (OTP-20.0).
