    Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Opera:
    Vitaly McLain reported a heap-based buffer overflow when processing
    host names in file:// URLs (CVE-2008-5178).
    Alexios Fakos reported a vulnerability in the HTML parsing engine
    when processing web pages that trigger an invalid pointer calculation
    and heap corruption (CVE-2008-5679).
    Red XIII reported that certain text-area contents can be
    manipulated to cause a buffer overlow (CVE-2008-5680).
    David Bloom discovered that unspecified 'scripted URLs' are not
    blocked during the feed preview (CVE-2008-5681).
    Robert Swiecki of the Google Security Team reported a Cross-site
    scripting vulnerability (CVE-2008-5682).
    An unspecified vulnerability reveals random data
    (CVE-2008-5683).
    Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team reported a vulnerability
    when processing JPEG images that may corrupt memory
    (CVE-2009-0914).
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted JPEG
    image to cause a Denial of Service or execute arbitrary code, to
    process an overly long file:// URL or to open a specially crafted web
    page to execute arbitrary code. He could also read existing
    subscriptions and force subscriptions to arbitrary feed URLs, as well
    as inject arbitrary web script or HTML via built-in XSLT templates.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."

"The Opera Team reports :

Manipulating certain text-area contents can cause a buffer overflow,
which may be exploited to execute arbitrary code.

Certain HTML constructs can cause the resulting DOM to change
unexpectedly, which triggers a crash. To inject code, additional
techniques will have to be employed.

Exceptionally long host names in file: URLs can cause a buffer
overflow, which may be exploited to execute arbitrary code. Remote Web
pages cannot refer to file: URLs, so successful exploitation involves
tricking users into manually opening the exploit URL, or a local file
that refers to it.

When Opera is previewing a news feed, some scripted URLs are not
correctly blocked. These can execute scripts which are able to
subscribe the user to any feed URL that the attacker chooses, and can
also view the contents of any feeds that the user is subscribed to.
These may contain sensitive information.

Built-in XSLT templates incorrectly handle escaped content and can
cause it to be treated as markup. If a site accepts content from
untrusted users, which it then displays using XSLT as escaped strings,
this can allow scripted markup to be injected. The scripts will then
be executed in the security context of that site."
