 Towards the end of this rather offbeat blog post they describe a
 rather clever attack which is possible when the application provides
 error messages (i.e. is an error oracle) for PKCS7 padding in e.g. AES
 CBC-encrypted web authenticators that allows an adversary to attack
 the crypto one octet at a time.

I think this attack can be attributed to Klima and Rosa:

Side Channel Attacks on CBC Encrypted Messages in the PKCS#7 Format.
V. Klima and T. Rosa.
