Zeile 1: Zeile 1:
The exploited vulnerability ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CRIME]) is a combination of chosen plain text attack and unintentional information leakage caused by data compression. CRIME can be prevented by disabling the use of compression, either on the client side, if the browser disables the compression of SPDY requests, or if the web page prevents the use of data compression for such transactions using the protocol negotiation characteristics of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security TLS] protocol.

The CRIME attack takes advantage of the fact that data compression can change the length of encrypted messages, and this provides conclusions about the plain text. This can be used by a skilled attacker to steal cookies, for example.
