Description

The HTTPS implementation in Google Chrome before 28.0.1500.71 does not ensure that headers are terminated by \r\n\r\n (carriage return, newline, carriage return, newline), which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to have an unspecified impact via vectors that trigger header truncation.

Affected products

Google Chrome: through 28.0.1500.70; 28.0.1500.0, 28.0.1500.2, 28.0.1500.3, 28.0.1500.4, 28.0.1500.5, 28.0.1500.6 (+56)
