Opera: Multiple vulnerabilities Opera is vulnerable to several vulnerabilities which could result in information disclosure and facilitate execution of arbitrary code. Opera 2005-02-14 2007-12-30: 03 73871 74076 74321 81747 remote 7.54-r3 7.54-r3

Opera is a multi-platform web browser.

Opera contains several vulnerabilities:

fails to properly validate Content-Type and filename.
fails to properly validate date: URIs.
uses kfmclient exec as the Default Application to handle downloaded files when integrated with KDE.
fails to properly control frames.
uses Sun Java packages insecurely.
searches an insecure path for plugins.

An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to:

execute arbitrary code.
load a malicious frame in the context of another browser session.
leak information.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All Opera users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=www-client/opera-7.54-r3"
