NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream erlang package and not the erlang package as distributed by Debian.

Erlang/OTP 22.3.x before 22.3.4.6 and 23.x before 23.1 allows Directory Traversal. An attacker can send a crafted HTTP request to read arbitrary files, if httpd in the inets application is used.
