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).

Multiple CRLF injection vulnerabilities in the FTP module in Erlang/OTP R15B03 allow context-dependent attackers to inject arbitrary FTP commands via CRLF sequences in the (1) user, (2) account, (3) cd, (4) ls, (5) nlist, (6) rename, (7) delete, (8) mkdir, (9) rmdir, (10) recv, (11) recv_bin, (12) recv_chunk_start, (13) send, (14) send_bin, (15) send_chunk_start, (16) append_chunk_start, (17) append, or (18) append_bin command.

Erlang Solutions MongooseIM through 1.3.1 rev. 2 does not properly restrict the processing of compressed XML elements, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a crafted XMPP stream, aka an "xmppbomb" attack.

The random number generator in the Crypto application before 2.0.2.2, and SSH before 2.0.5, as used in the Erlang/OTP ssh library before R14B03, uses predictable seeds based on the current time, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess DSA host and SSH session keys.

lib/crypto/c_src/crypto_drv.c in erlang does not properly check the return value from the OpenSSL DSA_do_verify function, which might allow remote attackers to bypass validation of the certificate chain via a malformed SSL/TLS signature, a similar vulnerability to CVE-2008-5077. NOTE: a package maintainer disputes this issue, reporting that there is a proper check within the only code that uses the applicable part of crypto_drv.c, and thus "this report is invalid.
