Description

The HTTP/2 protocol does not consider the role of the TCP congestion window in providing information about content length, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain cleartext data by leveraging a web-browser configuration in which third-party cookies are sent, aka a "HEIST" attack.

Affected configurations

• microsoft edge • microsoft internet explorer • google chrome • apple safari • opera opera browser • mozilla firefox
