Vulnerability Impact: Successful exploitation will allow attackers to overwrite or delete arbitrary cookies by sending a specially crafted HTTP response through a man-in-the- middle attack. Affected Software/OS: Google Chrome version prior to 4.0.211.0 on Mac OS X. Solution: Upgrade to the Google Chrome 4.0.211.0 or later. CVSS Score: 5.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P
