Description
The issue allows man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain plaintext HTTP headers by observing length differences during a series of guesses in which a string in an HTTP request potentially matches an unknown string in an HTTP header, also known as a "CRIME" attack.
Recommendations
For TLS protocol versions 1.2 and earlier, consider disabling TLS compression until a patch is available.
For Mozilla Firefox, update to a version that properly obfuscates the length of unencrypted data.
For Google Chrome, update to a version that properly obfuscates the length of unencrypted data.
For Qt, update to a version that properly obfuscates the length of unencrypted data.
