Description

The implementation of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) in WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 4.0.4 and Google Chrome before 3.0.195.33, includes certain custom HTTP headers in the OPTIONS request during cross-origin operations with preflight, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks via a crafted web page.

Affected configurations

• apple safari (< 4.0.4) • google chrome (< 3.0.195.33) • apple iphone os (< 4.0) • opensuse opensuse 11.2 • opensuse opensuse 11.3 • fedoraproject fedora 11 • fedoraproject fedora 12
