Summary

Opera before 10.00, when a collapsed address bar is used, does not properly update the domain name from the previously visited site to the currently visited site, which might allow remote attackers to spoof URLs.

    descriptionThe version of Opera installed on the remote host is earlier than 10.0 and thus reportedly affected by multiple issues : - Opera does not check the revocation status for intermediate certificates not served by the server. If the intermediate is revoked, this might not impact the security rating in Opera, and the site might be shown as secure. (929) - The collapsed Address bar can in some cases temporarily show the previous domain of the present site. (930) - Some Unicode characters are treated incorrectly which might cause international domain names that use them to be shown in the wrong format. Showing these addresses in Unicode instead of punycode could allow for limited address spoofing. (932) - The application trusts root X.509 certificates signed with the MD2 algorithm. (933) - Certificates which use a wild card immediately before the top level domain, or nulls in the domain name, may pass validation checks in Opera. Sites using such certificates may then incorrectly be presented as secure. (934)

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201206-03 (Opera: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Opera. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted web page, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition. A remote attacker may be able to: trick users into downloading and executing arbitrary files, bypass intended access restrictions, spoof trusted content, spoof URLs, bypass the Same Origin Policy, obtain sensitive information, force subscriptions to arbitrary feeds, bypass the popup blocker, bypass CSS filtering, conduct cross-site scripting attacks, or have other unknown impact. A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary files with the privileges of the user running the application or possibly obtain sensitive information. A physically proximate attacker may be able to access an email account. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
