CVE-2008-7296

TITLE

Apple of Safari Vulnerable to overwriting or deleting arbitrary cookies

Trust: 0.8

sources: JVNDB: JVNDB-2011-003794

DESCRIPTION

Apple Safari cannot properly restrict modifications to cookies established in HTTPS sessions, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to overwrite or delete arbitrary cookies via a Set-Cookie header in an HTTP response, related to lack of the HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) includeSubDomains feature, aka a "cookie forcing" issue. This allows attackers to bypass security features provided by secure cookies. Apple Apple Safari is a web browser developed by Apple (Apple), and is the default browser included with Mac OS X and iOS operating systems
