Comment 1 Peter Lemenkov 2026-03-30 21:41:02 UTC
CVE-2025-30211 (KEX init error resulting in excessive memory usage) is fixed in Erlang/OTP 26.2.5.x. The EPEL 9 erlang package will not be updated to track upstream patch releases.

Users are encouraged to use the CentOS Messaging SIG, which provides erlang-26.2.5.16 for EL9 (CentOS Stream 9, RHEL 9, AlmaLinux 9, Rocky Linux 9, and other EL9 derivatives), which includes the fix for this CVE:

    dnf install centos-release-messaging
