Ubuntu Security Notice USN-7313-1
March 03, 2025

erlang vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 24.10
- Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS

Summary:

Erlang could be made to consume resources if it received specially crafted
network traffic.

Software Description:
- erlang: Concurrent, real-time, distributed functional language

Details:

It was discovered that Erlang incorrectly handled SFTP packet sizes. A
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Erlang to consume
resources, resulting in a denial of service.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 24.10
   erlang                          1:25.3.2.12+dfsg-1ubuntu2.1
