    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.

    descriptionThe version of Opera installed on the remote host is earlier than 10.10. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple issues : - Error messages can leak onto unrelated sites which could lead to cross-site scripting attacks. (941) - Passing very long strings through the string to number conversion using JavaScript in Opera may result in heap buffer overflows. (942) - There is an as-yet unspecified moderately severe issue reported by Chris Evans of the Google Security Team.
