 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3491-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany July 11, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Package : erlang Version : 1:22.2.7+dfsg-1+deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2022-37026 Debian Bug : 1024632

 A Client Authentication Bypass vulnerability has been discovered in the concurrent, real-time, distributed functional language Erlang. Impacted are those who are running an ssl/tls/dtls server using the ssl application either directly or indirectly via other applications. Note that the vulnerability only affects servers that request client certification, that is sets the option {verify, verify_peer}.

 Additionally the source package elixir-lang has been rebuilt against the new erlang version. The rabbitmq-server package was upgraded to version 3.8.2 to fix an incompatibility with Erlang 22.

 For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1:22.2.7+dfsg-1+deb10u1.

 We recommend that you upgrade your erlang packages.

 For the detailed security status of erlang please refer to its security tracker page at:
