Mozilla Browser/Firefox Arbitrary HTTP Request Injection Vulnerability

Mozilla and Firefox browsers are prone to a vulnerability that permits the injection of arbitrary HTTP requests. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can use this issue to exploit server or proxy flaws from the user's machine, or to fool a server or proxy into thinking a single request is a stream of separate requests.
