Yes, apologies for my phrasing... the first bit didn't mean "computer bit" meant "human description for the first part of a web response (headers and body)".
To be very precise, I think jgc mentioned that up to 4KB from the bounds of the initial request could have been leaked, where a good section of that was the internal server-to-server communication certs, the raw headers as visible during the internal processing of the request, and then part of the response body that follows... this may have been encrypted or compressed and could appear as garbage.
The focus for site owners on Cloudflare should be on "What do I put in headers that may be sensitive?" or "What URLs do I regard as being secret/unadvertised?".
Typically that will be session cookies and access_tokens. Hence my advice, expire and roll all sessions.
Headers include the Cloudflare internal headers, and so includes origin IP addresses too, so if those are secret for you (i.e. you have previously been the target of a DoS and are using Cloudflare to hide those IPs) then you'll want to change your origin IP addresses too. Though if you have been the target of a DoS then you probably should use iptables to only allow web traffic from Cloudflare IP addresses.
