1) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-2774)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
Erlang/OTP before 18.0-rc1 does not properly check CBC padding bytes when terminating connections, which makes it easier for man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain cleartext data via a padding-oracle attack, a variant of CVE-2014-3566 (aka POODLE).
