The remote host is missing an update for the 'erlang' package(s) announced via the USN-3571-1 advisory. It was discovered that the Erlang FTP module incorrectly handled certain CRLF sequences, and that Erlang incorrectly checked CBC padding bytes. Additionally, Erlang incorrectly handled certain regular expressions, and the Erlang otp TLS server incorrectly handled error reporting, leading to the possibility of performing various types of attacks

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 Bock, 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
