Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for erlang.

CVE-2016-1000107[0]:
| inets in Erlang possibly 22.1 and earlier follows RFC 3875 section
| 4.1.18 and therefore does not protect applications from the presence
| of untrusted client data in the HTTP_PROXY environment variable,
| which might allow remote attackers to redirect an application's
| outbound HTTP traffic to an arbitrary proxy server via a crafted
| Proxy header in an HTTP request, aka an "httpoxy" issue.

While the issue was marked unimportant, still filling a bug for it as
it in the end recently got addressed, see references.

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
