Expect Header Injection Via Flash

Follow-up on Amit Klein's Expect header injection via Flash, reporting that Secunia's test tool shows a large fraction of major sites affected. Any site echoing the Expect header lets an attacker-supplied movie run script in its origin, enabling cookie theft, page scraping and XSS proxying even where the site has no XSS of its own.
