        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

        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 :

    descriptionThe version of Opera installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.64 and thus reportedly affected by multiple issues : - A memory-corruption vulnerability when processing specially crafted JPEG files could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the affected application. (926) - It may be possible for certain plugins to execute arbitrary code in the context of a different domain. An attacker could exploit this to steal authentication credentials as well as carry out other attacks.
