CVE-2009-0801 is not about poisoning, but about flash, java etc being
able to bypass the same-host sandbox security restriction normally
enforced within such frameworks, opening up for an additional risk of
information theft as the applet/etc can grab information from any host
the proxy have access to, not just the host the applet/etc came from.
