Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream erlang package and not the erlang package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

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).
