CVE-2017-1000385
This allows an attacker to decrypt content or sign messages with the server's private key (this is a variation of the Bleichenbacher attack).
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 22.1%, higher than 98% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
Description
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).
