Comment on Erlang/OTP 29.0

Comments

You might want to update prod apps ASAP to this or the latest point version if below 29. Just deployed an app to production, automated security scans found 2 CRITICAL CVEs and half a dozen of HIGH risk ones dated Feb-May 2026.

Do you have a list?

Copied from the defectdojo report (generated on an Elixir 1.19 app on ubuntu noble base image from February 2026):

  Critical CVE-2025-32433 in erlang:27.3
  Critical CVE-2026-28808 in erlang:27.3   
  High CVE-2026-23941 in erlang:27.3 
  High CVE-2026-32144 in erlang:27.3   
  High CVE-2025-48041 in erlang:27.3   
  High CVE-2025-68973 in gpgv:2.4.4-2ubuntu17   
  High CVE-2025-30211 in erlang:27.3
  High CVE-2025-68973 GPGV 2.4.4-2ubuntu17
All these seem to be fixed by upgrading to latest ubuntu image + Erlang/OTP 28.5

Thank you. The problem with new OTP releases is that usually there's a X.0.1 release shortly after because something was broken. At least it was that way with 28. I'll wait a few weeks.
