HTTP header injection is a general class of web application vulnerability which occurs when HTTP headers are dynamically generated based on user input. Header injection in HTTP responses can allow for HTTP response splitting and Cross-site scripting attacks.
HTTP header injection is a relatively new area for web-based attacks, and has primarily been pioneered by Amit Klein in his work on request/response smuggling/splitting.
