erlang is vulnerable to Race Condition (TOCTOU)
87
High Risk
This Affects:
erlangTL;DR
Affected versions of Erlang/OTP contain a race condition in the shared DTLS packet demultiplexer that allows a remote attacker to crash the process by sending rapid ClientHello messages from the same source address and port. Because the demultiplexer is shared across all DTLS sessions on a listener, a successful attack terminates all active connections, resulting in a pre-authentication denial-of-service (DoS).
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range.
