other applications on a full OTP 23 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-17358 Application(s): erl_interface
Related Id(s): ERL-ERL-610
Fix bug where sending of large data with
ei_send_*/ei_rpc with infinite timeout could fail when
the tcp buffer becomes full.
Fault has existed since OTP-21.
--- Known Bugs and Problems ---
OTP-16607 Application(s): erl_interface
Related Id(s): OTP-16608
The ei API for decoding/encoding terms is not fully
64-bit compatible since terms that have a
representation on the external term format larger than
2 GB cannot be handled.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- kernel-7.3.1 ----------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The kernel-7.3.1 application can be applied independently of other
applications on a full OTP 23 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-17361 Application(s): kernel
A bug in the Erlang DNS resolver has been fixed, where
it could be made to bring down the kernel supervisor
and thereby the whole node, when getting an incorrect
(IN A reply to an IN CNAME query) reply from the DNS
server and used the reply record's value without
verifying its type.
Full runtime dependencies of kernel-7.3.1: erts-11.0, sasl-3.0,

---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- runtime_tools-1.16.1 --------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The runtime_tools-1.16.1 application can be applied independently of
other applications on a full OTP 23 installation.
--- Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions ---
OTP-16930 Application(s): runtime_tools
Related Id(s): ERL-1371, GH-4396
The function dbg:n/1 used a local fun to set up a
tracer on a remote node. This works fine as long as the
remote node is running exactly the same version of
Erlang/OTP but does not work at all otherwise. This is
fixed by exporting the relevant function and by calling
this function on the remote node to set up remote
tracing.
Full runtime dependencies of runtime_tools-1.16.1: erts-11.0,
kernel-7.0, mnesia-4.12, stdlib-3.13
