CVE-2026-49759 WRITEUP HIGH WRITEUP
Stack buffer overflow in SCTP error cause parsing in inet_drv allows remote VM crash
Stack-based Buffer Overflow vulnerability in Erlang OTP erts (inet_drv) allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to crash the BEAM VM by sending a crafted SCTP ERROR chunk. The sctp_parse_error_chunk function in erts/emulator/drivers/common/inet_drv.c parses SCTP ERROR chunks and writes cause codes into a fixed-size stack-allocated ErlDrvTermData spec[] array without checking bounds. A remote attacker who has established an SCTP association to a listening port can send a single crafted SCTP ERROR chunk containing enough cause codes to overflow the stack buffer, crashing the VM. The attacker can only write 16-bit values interleaved with a fixed tag, so the overflow does not provide a controlled return address, limiting exploitation to Denial of Service. A crafted SCTP ERROR chunk may also leak bits and pieces of Erlang VM memory into the received error packet observed by the Erlang process. Such data is already readable by the user running the Erlang VM, so the disclosure scope is limited. This issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 before 27.3.4.13, 28.5.0.2 and 29.0.2, corresponding to erts from 6.0 before 15.2.7.9, 16.4.0.2 and 17.0.2.

Erlang/OTP 17.0-17.0 - Relative Path Traversal in tftp_file Module
Relative Path Traversal, Improper Isolation or Compartmentalization vulnerability in erlang otp erlang/otp (tftp_file modules), erlang otp inets (tftp_file modules), erlang otp tftp (tftp_file modules) allows Relative Path Traversal. This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/tftp/src/tftp_file.erl, src/tftp_file.erl. This issue affects otp: from 17.0, from 07b8f441ca711f9812fad9e9115bab3c3aa92f79; otp: from 5.10 before 7.0; otp: from 1.0.
CVE-2026-28810 WRITEUP LOW WRITEUP
Predictable DNS Transaction IDs Enable Cache Poisoning in Built-in Resolver
Generation of Predictable Numbers or Identifiers vulnerability in Erlang/OTP kernel (inet_res, inet_db modules) allows DNS Cache Poisoning. The built-in DNS resolver (inet_res) uses a sequential, process-global 16-bit transaction ID for UDP queries and does not implement source port randomization. Response validation relies almost entirely on this ID, making DNS cache poisoning practical for an attacker who can observe one query or predict the next ID. This conflicts with RFC 5452 recommendations for mitigating forged DNS answers. inet_res is intended for use in trusted network environments and with trusted recursive resolvers. Earlier documentation did not clearly state this deployment assumption, which could lead users to deploy the resolver in environments where spoofed DNS responses are possible. This vulnerability is associated with program files lib/kernel/src/inet_db.erl and lib/kernel/src/inet_res.erl. This issue affects OTP from OTP 17.0 until OTP 28.4.2, 27.3.4.10 and 26.2.5.19 corresponding to kernel from 3.0 until 10.6.2, 10.2.7.4 and 9.2.4.11.
