CVE-2015-2774 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. 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).. EPSS estimates a 1.90% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
