New Attack Uses SSL/TLS Information Leak to Hijack HTTPS Sessions

Threatpost's pre-disclosure report on CRIME: Rizzo and Duong found an optional TLS feature that leaks enough about encrypted traffic to recover session cookies, in every TLS version including 1.2 and whatever the cipher suite. With a man-in-the-middle position and JavaScript in the victim's browser they decrypt cookies; the RC4 switch that stopped BEAST does not help.
