Updated erlang packages fix security vulnerabilities
Updated erlang packages fixes security vulnerability:
An FTP command injection flaw was found in Erlang's FTP module. Several functions in the FTP module do not properly sanitize the input before passing it into a control socket. A local attacker can use this flaw to execute arbitrary FTP commands on a system that uses this module (CVE-2014-1693).
This update also disables SSLv3 by default to mitigate the POODLE issue.

erlang vulnerabilities
It was discovered that the Erlang FTP module incorrectly handled certain CRLF sequences. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to inject arbitrary FTP commands. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-1693)
It was discovered that Erlang incorrectly checked CBC padding bytes. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a padding oracle attack and decrypt traffic. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2015-2774)
It was discovered that Erlang incorrectly handled certain regular expressions. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause Erlang to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-10253)
Hanno Böck, Juraj Somorovsky and Craig Young discovered that the Erlang otp TLS server incorrectly handled error reporting. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a variation of the Bleichenbacher attack and decrypt traffic or sign messages. (CVE-2017-1000385)
