  certificates to be accepted without checking that the client certificate actually belongs to the
  client. This should be checked by verifying the signature sent by the client in certificate verify
  message, but due to the error this step could be skipped.

  Impacted are those who are running an SSL/TLS/DTLS server using the ssl application either
  directly or indirectly via other applications. For example via inets (httpd), cowboy, etc.

  Note that the vulnerability only affects servers that request client certification, that is sets
  the option {verify, verify_peer}.");
