Fail labels on guard BIFs weren't taken into account during an optimization pass, and a bug in the validation pass sometimes prevented this from being noticed when a fault occurred.

Full runtime dependencies of compiler-6.0.3.1: crypto-3.6, erts-7.0, hipe-3.12, kernel-4.0, stdlib-2.5

eldap-1.2.1.1 #

The eldap-1.2.1.1 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 18 installation.

OTP-14765
Application(s):
eldap, jinterface

Misc building environment updates

Full runtime dependencies of eldap-1.2.1.1: asn1-3.0, erts-6.0, kernel-3.0, ssl-5.3.4, stdlib-2.0

erts-7.3.1.4 #

The erts-7.3.1.4 application can be applied independently of other applications on a full OTP 18 installation.

Application(s):
erts

Fix performance bug in pre-allocators that could cause them to permanently fall back on normal more expensive memory allocation. Pre-allocators are used for quick allocation of short lived meta data used by messages and other scheduled tasks. Bug exists since OTP_R15B02.

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.

A timer internal bit-field used for storing scheduler id was too small. As a result, VM internal timer data structures could become inconsistent when using 1024 schedulers on the system. Note that systems with less than 1024 schedulers are not effected by this bug.

This bug was introduced in ERTS version 7.0 (OTP 18.0).

erts

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).

Full runtime dependencies of erts-7.3.1.4: kernel-4.0, sasl-2.4, stdlib-2.5

ssh-4.2.2.4 #

Note! The ssh-4.2.2.4 application can *not* be applied independently of other applications on an arbitrary OTP 18 installation. On a full OTP 18 installation, also the following runtime dependency has to be satisfied: -- crypto-3.6.3.1 (first satisfied in OTP 18.3.4.5)

ssh

Trailing white space was removed at end of the hello-string. This caused interoperability problems with some other ssh-implementations (e.g OpenSSH 7.3p1 on Solaris 11)

Full runtime dependencies of ssh-4.2.2.4: crypto-3.6.3.1, erts-6.0, kernel-3.0, public_key-0.22, stdlib-2.3
