This update fixes a security issue:
With a crafted
URL that contains a newline in it, the credential helper
machinery can be fooled to give credential information for a wrong host.
The attack has been made impossible by forbidding a newline character in
any value passed via the credential protocol. Credit for finding the
vulnerability goes to Felix Wilhelm of Google Project Zero.
