CVE-2017-1000385 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:unstable erlang to version 1:20.1.7+dfsg-1 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream erlang package and not the erlang package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.
The Erlang otp TLS server answers with different TLS alerts to different error types in the RSA PKCS #1 1.5 padding. This allows an attacker to decrypt content or sign messages with the server's private key (this is a variation of the Bleichenbacher attack).
