Descriptions

The setRequestHeader method of the XMLHttpRequest object in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 does not restrict the dangerous Transfer-Encoding HTTP request header, which allows remote attackers to conduct HTTP request splitting and HTTP request smuggling attacks via a POST containing a "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" header and a request body with an incorrect chunk size.

El método setRequestHeader del objeto XMLHttpRequest en Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 no restringe las cabeceras de las peticiones HTTP Transfer-Encoding peligrosas, lo que permite a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de división y contrabando de peticiones HTTP mediante un POST que contiene una cabecera "Transfer-Encoding: chunked" y un contenido con un tamaño de trozo incorrecto.
