  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.

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
 --- 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.
