Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Fake the Source of Data An adversary provides data under a falsified identity. The purpose of using the falsified identity may be to prevent traceability of the provided data or it might be an attempt by the adversary to assume the rights granted to another identity. One of the simplest forms of this attack would be the creation of an email message with a modified "From" field in order to appear that the message was sent from someone other than the actual sender. Results of the attack vary depending on the details of the attack, but common results include privilege escalation, obfuscation of other attacks, and data corruption/manipulation.

description | The 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) |
