Descriptions

The Android browser in Android 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.

El navegador Android de Android no restringe apropiadamente las modificaciones a las cookies establecidas en las sesiones HTTPS, lo que facilita a atacantes "man-in-the-middle" sobreescribir o borrar cookies arbitrarias a través de una cabecera Set-Cookie en una respuesta HTTP, relacionado con una fallo en la funcionalidad HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) includeSubDomains. También conocido como un problema "cookie forcing".
