Attack vector
UNKNOWN Attack complexity
UNKNOWN Privileges required
UNKNOWN Confidentiality impact
UNKNOWN Integrity impact
UNKNOWN Availability impact
UNKNOWN Summary
Opera before 9.63 does not properly verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Signature Spoofing by Key Recreation An attacker obtains an authoritative or reputable signer's private signature key by exploiting a cryptographic weakness in the signature algorithm or pseudorandom number generation and then uses this key to forge signatures from the original signer to mislead a victim into performing actions that benefit the attacker.

description | The version of Opera installed on the remote host is earlier than 9.63 and thus reportedly affected by several issues : - It may be possible to execute arbitrary code on the remote system by manipulating certain text-area contents. (920) - It may be possible to crash the remote browser using certain HTML constructs or inject code under certain conditions. (921) - It may be possible to trigger a buffer overflow, and potentially execute arbitrary code, by tricking an user to click on a URL that contains exceptionally long host names. (922) - While previewing news feeds, Opera does not correctly block certain scripted URLs. Such scripts, if not blocked, may be able to subscribe a user to other arbitrary feeds and view contents of the feeds to which the user is currently subscribed. (923) - By displaying content using XSLT as escaped strings, it may be possible for a website to inject scripted markup. (924) - SSL server certificates are not properly validated due to an unspecified error. (CVE-2012-1251) |
