    descriptionThe version of Opera installed on the remote host is earlier than 10.01. Such versions are potential affected by multiple issues : - Specially crafted domain names can cause a memory corruption in Opera, which may lead to a crash or possibly remote code execution. (938) - Opera may allow scripts to run on the feed subscription page, thereby gaining access to the feeds object. (939) - In some cases, a Web font intended to be used for page content could be incorrectly used by Opera to render parts of the user interface, including the address field. (940)

    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.
