Hey everyone,

Been flagged by my VPS provider that our Koha instance may be affected by
this vulnerability. It seems rabbitmq-server has some OTP dependencies,
though not the erlang-ssh package.

Here is the official advisory:
https://github.com/erlang/otp/security/advisories/GHSA-37cp-fgq5-7wc2

On my koha instance these erlang packages are installed:
erlang-asn1
erlang-base
erlang-crypto
erlang-eldap
erlang-ftp
erlang-inets
erlang-mnesia
erlang-os-mon
erlang-parsetools
erlang-public-key
erlang-runtime-tools
erlang-snmp
erlang-ssl
erlang-syntax-tools
erlang-tftp
erlang-tools
erlang-xmerl

So to me it looks like this flag is a false positive, but thought best to
reach out here.

Thanks in advance,
